PRODUCT: Toshiba Portégé® R600 Named Greenest Notebook by Greenpeace DESCRIPTION: The Toshiba Portégé R600 was named the greenest notebook in Greenpeace's second annual "Green Electronics: The Search Continues" survey, stating that, "Toshiba is ahead of everyone else when it comes to the elimination of toxic chemicals." The survey assessed more than fifty consumer electronics on their use of hazardous chemicals, energy efficiency, overall product lifecycle (ability to be recycled and upgraded) and other factors such as the promotion of environmental friendliness and innovation. As proof of Toshiba's commitment to help businesses and consumers reduce their carbon footprint, the Toshiba Portégé R600 ranks high in other evaluations for its green attributes. The Portégé R600 is ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant, designed to be RoHS compatible, and currently ranks number one in the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Gold category. Toshiba is committed long-term to helping better the environment by recognizing and responding to environmental issues in the design and manufacturing of all its solutions. Through valuable products and services that utilize a sustainable approach, Toshiba has contributed to the environment's well-being by restricting hazardous substances from the Portégé R600, including cadmium, mercury and lead from batteries and other components. The notebook's LED lamp also helps eliminate additional mercury used in light sources. Toshiba also stresses green procurement in all aspects of the Portégé series' development. Collaboration with component and part suppliers further helps Toshiba achieve the targeted carbon footprint. The factory in which the Portégé series is manufactured recovers and recycles waste generated during the manufacturing process, including silver, copper and tin. Toshiba continues to evolve its green practices by constantly assessing and reducing the environmental impacts of its products throughout the product's lifecycle, ensuring that the recycling of older products is as environmentally conscious as its inception.
