Global Sustainability
Konica Minolta's global strategy for a sustainable future — Eco Vision 2050.
ECO VISION 2050
Global Sustainability is a Priority
Konica Minolta's global, long-term sustainability strategy, Eco Vision 2050, sets goals for the company to reduce CO2 emissions throughout the product life cycle. Currently it is ahead of schedule and on track to reach carbon minus status by 2030 instead of 2050, as originally planned.
The initiative promotes recycling, effective use of Earth's limited resources and the restoration and preservation of biodiversity. The company also helps corporate clients and suppliers achieve effective use of resources by constructing efficient supply chains using on-demand production and reducing workflow and supply chain loss.
Konica Minolta was recently given the Highest Evaluation by CDP and Included on the Climate A List 2025.

GREEN PRODUCTS
Konica Minolta's Green Products Certification
Konica Minolta's Green Products Certification System is an original process for evaluating and certifying products with superior environmental performance.
Eco Friendly Plastics
Konica Minolta has developed a technology that blends PET plastic with PC from water bottles to create a recycled material that can be used in the outer casing of MFPs. This is the first-ever use of recycled materials for the outer casing of MFPs in the industry. We have also started producing toner bottles made from recycled HDPE plastics from recycled milk bottles.
Simitri Toner
Konica Minolta's own Simitri toner is made with plant-based "biomass" materials. It contains smaller particles than ordinary toner, which cuts toner consumption by 30+%.
IH Fixing Technology
Induction Heating (IH) Fixing technology only heats the roller's surface rather than the entire roller. This reduces power consumption during the fixing process and results in shorter warm-up times. Additionally, this feature automatically cuts off residual fixing heat when no print jobs are taking place, further contributing to energy savings.
