Efficient use of electric power and recycled materials, additional value of TCO (total cost of ownership) reduction
Usage of recycled materials
Konica Minolta has made further advances in its unique chemical processing technology. It has also increased its use of recycled PC/PET with a higher PCR ratio*1 of approximately 70%. What is more, our use of recycled ABS resin has increased the PCR ratio for internal materials to approximately 95%. This recycled material accounts for more than 35% of the total weight of resin in the main unit and covers approximately 88% of the outer surface area of the machine.

Yearly CO2 emissions:
TEC value × 52 weeks × emission factor

Top-class power consumption and class-leading TEC value
The MFP CPU turns off in sleep mode to deliver a top-class 0.5W power consumption ratio. The TEC value has also been reduced approximately 14-20%, which helps reduce CO2 emissions.
