  • Green Products

    Konica Minolta's Green Products Certification System is an original process for evaluating and certifying products with superior environmental performance

    ECO FRIENDLY PLASTICS
    Konica Minolta has developed a technology that blends PET plastic with PC from water bottles to create a recycled material that can be used in the outer casing of MFPs. This is the first use of recycled materials for the outer casing of MFPs in the industry. We have also started producing toner bottles made from recycled HDPE plastics from recycled milk bottles.

    SIMITRI TONER
    Konica Minolta's own Simitri toner is made with plant-based "biomass" materials. It contains smaller particles than ordinary toner which cuts toner consumption by 30+%.

    IH FIXING TECHNOLOGY
    Induction Heating (IH) Fixing technology only heats the roller's surface rather than the entire roller. This reduces power consumption during the fixing process and results in shorter warm-up times. In addition, this feature automatically cuts off residual fixing heat when no print jobs are taking place, further contributing to energy savings.

  • Green Marketing

    Konica Minolta’s Green Marketing activities help us set environmental goals based on regional needs related to distribution, packaging, sales, and service.

  • Green Factory

    Konica Minolta operates its original Green Factory Certification System for the comprehensive evaluation of the environmental activities at its production sites. The system aims to reduce waste, CO2 emissions and reducing chemical substances at each production site.

    Through this initiative, we also work with suppliers to help reduce their environmental impact.
