All Kyocera devices are designed with the environment in mind. We aim to minimise the impact of our products on the planet by reducing the quantity of raw materials contained within them. Kyocera's approach to printer design and engineering reduces the number of components in the toner cassette system by more than 85% on average, consequently reducing the manufacturing and recycling impact of the device.
We offer a recycling program that is easy and environmentally-accredited to recycle used printer toners which are made up of a complex mix of plastics, metal, inks and toners they represent a significant investment in resources. When they are disposed of into landfill these resources are lost.
