computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, scanners, copiers and multifunctional
machines. New specifications were introduced in 2007 which ensure that the
Energy Star represents only the markets most energy efficient products.
Nordic Swan
The Swan is the official Nordic eco-label which demonstrates that a product is a good
environmental choice. The Swan checks that products fulfill certain criteria including
power consumption, materials used, emissions and performance properties.
The label is usually valid for 3 years. The MX series is designed with the environment
in mind and based on Sharp’s policy of becoming a totally environmentally friendly
company.
Common platform
The MX series has been developed with “Common platform” concept, which utilises common mechanical
parts, boards, consumables, software and controllers as much as possible. This fact is important for the
overall company’s activities such as stock management, production, logistics, technical training, etc. This
means less power is required to sustain the company’s activities and total energy consumption is reduced, as
everything is Sharp.
Recyclable plastic
The material name and characteristics are mentioned on all plastic parts and cabinet for recycling. Also
labels for caution or operation are reduced as much as possible and instead of these messages are now
embossed on plastic.
