Our Approach on the Environment

In a situation where global environmental issues have become more serious than ever, Murata Machinery, Ltd. will, as a manufacturer, not only develop and market "Earth-friendly" products but also positively promote business activities while considering environmental preservation.

International Energy Star Program(Communication Equipment Div.)

International Energy Star ProgramMuratec offers Earth-friendly products. "International Energy Star Program" is energy conservation standard for office automation equipment executed in 1995 by mutual agreement of the Japan-U.S. government to protect the rich global environment. Muratec offers most products including complex machinery that qualifies for the energy conservation standards of the International Energy Star Program.

Cartridge Collection & Recycling in Japan(Communication Equipment Div.)

Muratec collects used consumables (toner and drum cartridges) for environmental preservation and recycling in Japan. Please send back used toner and drum cartridges to the address below. Also, upon returning, please kindly follow the packing instructions described below so that used consumables are recycled. Thank you for your cooperation.

Green Purchasing Network in Japan(Communication Equipment Div.)

Green Purchasing NetworkMuratec is a member of "Green Purchasing Network". "Green purchasing," means purchasing an item considering not only its price, function, and quality, but also various aspects of the "Environment" to minimize the impact on the environment.

What is the "Green Purchasing Network"?
"Green Purchasing Network" is a network with loose regulations established by various enterprises, administrative bodies and private organizations in 1996 in Japan. GPN is in order to promote "Green purchasing". Muratec offers a number of products that follow GPN guidelines, such as products conforming to the Energy Star Program or equipped with cleaner-free systems.

Cleaner-free System(Communication Equipment Div.)

The toner element and the magnetic substance that were not transcribed on the photoreceptor when printing were previously collected into the bottle for exhaust toner. However, with our own technology, we developed a print system that collects 100% of exhaust toner generated during printing and uses it again. It is economical and environment-friendly with no time wasted disposing of exhaust toner. This system has been installed in MFX-1330 series.

Green Procurement(Communication Equipment Div.)

Preservation of the global environment is an issue for all mankind. It requires all corporations not only to introduce innovative technologies, but to change their mentality and put more emphasis on environmental preservation.

Muratec's Communication Equipment Division has set forth the Green Procurement Guidelines to increase the use of products, components, and raw materials that have less environmental impact. This is based on the company's philosophy to "Aiming at a company who keeps creating new values to the market, we pursue all of the activity with high consciousness about conservation of the Earth environment, in order to transfer the mother Earth to the next generations".

We request your kind understanding of our environmental preservation program, and ask for your support.
