A greener Notebook.
Toshiba’s environmental
activities in Australia.
We have developed a range of programs to help us meet
our environmental objectives locally. These include:
Toshiba Trade-IT-In program
When you’re ready to update your Toshiba Notebook
fleet, we’ll buy them back and then take care of
re-selling them. Please contact Toshiba (Australia)

Partnership with Landcare Australia.
Toshiba (Australia) Pty Limited partners with Landcare
Australia to assist in managing and repairing the
environment. Further information can be found at
www.landcareaustralia.com.au/
Restriction of Hazardous Substances compliance.
Toshiba developed the world’s first Notebook to fully
comply with the European Union’s Restriction of
Hazardous Substances ruling. More importantly, all of
Toshiba’s Notebooks became fully compliant well
ahead of the mandated deadline. The RoHS ruling
restricts the use of six hazardous substances. It will
become the default standard for electrical equipment
worldwide. Toshiba has also invested heavily in
finding and using alternatives for another eight
substances, comprehensively exceeding the standards
set by the legislation.
Toshiba Ecycle program
Toshiba’s Ecycle IT makes it easy to recycle surplus
Toshiba Notebooks. All Toshiba (ANZ) MobileCare and
ProCare repair agents now have recycle bins. You can
bring in unwanted Toshiba IT equipment to be recycled
at no charge. For your nearest MobileCare repair
centre contact Toshiba (Australia) on 13 30 70 or visit
www.isd.toshiba.com.au or contact your Toshiba
finance partner for further information.
Reducing IT power consumption
Measures to improve eco-efficiency involve environmentally
conscious product design, environmental assessment of
products and disclosure of environmental performance
of products. In our 4th Voluntary Environmental Plan for
the period 2005 to 2010, Toshiba Group aims to improve
product eco-efficiency in 2010 by 2.2 times compared
with 2000.
Toshiba Donate-IT program
We can help you donate pre-loved Toshiba Notebooks
to local community groups and charities. Simply drop
off your surplus Notebooks at any MobileCare repair
centre and we‘ll refurbish them and pass them on to
a worthwhile cause. For further information, please

Toshiba Group Earth Protection Mark
In 1999, Toshiba introduced the Toshiba Group Earth
Protection Mark as a part of its efforts to strengthen
disclosure of products’ environmental performances.
Products in conformity with Toshiba’s voluntary
environmental standards, which cover such criteria as
energy saving, no use of toxic substances, green
procurement, design facilitating recycling, and recycling
of end-of-life products, bear this mark.

made a commitment to reducing
the impact of our activities on the
environment. We are promoting good
environmental management practices
across all of our products and business
processes, focusing in particular on:
Effective utilisation of resources
Prevention of global warming
Strengthening of control of chemical substances
Development of environmentally conscious products
Recycling of end-of-use products.
