Technology Company Earns Elite Eco Recognition for Developing World\u2019s First Copier with Erasable Toner <\/em><\/p>\n

Portland, OR, Sept. 23, 2015<\/em> \u2013 In recognition for developing the world\u2019s first copier with erasable toner, Toshiba America Business Solutions<\/a>\u00a0was selected as a finalist for the Green Electronics Council\u2019s Catalyst Awards<\/a>\u00a0during the nonprofit\u2019s Emerging Green 2015<\/a>\u00a0event in Portland, Ore. last night. \u00a0The Green Electronics Council<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 also located in Portland \u2013 manages EPEAT<\/a>, the definitive global rating system for greener electronics.<\/p>\n

The 2015 Green Electronics Council Catalyst Awards recognize electronics and related infrastructures\u2019 positive impact on the circular economy. \u00a0For the purposes of the 2015 Awards, circular economy was defined as \u201can economic system that is safe and restorative by intention and seeks to eradicate waste through the careful design, manufacture, use and handling of products and components.\u201d \u00a0A third-party Judging Committee managed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science<\/a>\u00a0(AAAS) evaluated qualitative and quantitative evidence to determine the winner. \u00a0AAAS \u2013 based in Washington, D.C. \u2013 is an international nonprofit dedicated to advancing science for the benefit all people.<\/p>\n

Toshiba\u2019s e-STUDIO\u2122<\/sup>306LP\/RD30<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 which incorporates a unique toner \u2013 is capable of erasing images and text output allowing for the reuse of paper. \u00a0Users dramatically minimize paper usage \u2013 when reusing the same sheet as many as five times \u2013 while lessening carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) emissions by up to 57 percent, as validated by the British Standards Institute<\/a>, a global national standards organization. \u00a0 The e-STUDIORD30 unit is where a page\u2019s output is erased. \u00a0When applying heat, the toner color is effectively removed, thereby erasing any text or images on the page.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Catalyst Awards recognize initiatives throughout the electronics sector that balance innovation and practicality while delivering environmental benefits,\u201d said Scott Davis, Interim CEO of the Green Electronics Council. \u201cWe are pleased to count Toshiba among the Catalyst Award finalists and commend them for their work with the e-STUDIO line.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone at Toshiba connected to our eco copier is excited about becoming a Catalyst Awards finalist while receiving recognition from two preeminent organizations, the Green Electronics Council and the American Association for the Advancement of Science,\u201d said Bill Melo, Toshiba America Business Solution\u2019s chief marketing executive. \u00a0\u201cThe idea for our eco copier is a reflection of one of our company\u2019s original pillars, which is to become an ecological steward throughout the global communities where we live and work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toshiba\u2019s e-STUDIO306LP\/RD30 has already garnered several industry accolades, including a Stevie Award\u00ae<\/sup>, Best in Biz Award, Gold Winner for Most Innovative Product of the Year and the METI Minister\u2019s Award of Green IT.
