In its pursuit of innovative communication products for business, Toshiba takes a committed approach to sustainability in its product development, packaging, part manufacturing and production as well as the utilization of efficiency in its resources.

At each stage of the product development, manufacturing, distribution and final disposal, understanding how to minimize the environmental impacted throughout the process is what Toshiba strives to do in the life cycle of producing business communication products.

For example, Toshiba meets or exceeds the high environmental standards like the RoHS, WEEE, and JIG to keep toxic chemicals and other substances from disturbing the ecosystem. It’s products like the IPedge®, Strata CIX™ systems and the 4000 and 5000 Series business IP and digital telephones are RoHS compliant as well.

And with the 5000-Series digital phones, the chemicals used to produce the components and the finish and exterior moldings use greener alternatives that are built within the process. And while the manufacturing process makes use of greener elements, these new digital phones are more energy-efficient and offer automatic “sleep mode” and lower energy use overall than previous versions.

From making use today’s current environmentally friendly chemicals to finding earth-friendly ways to dispose and recycle, Toshiba is committed to keeping a sustainable future for business.
