Concern for the environment is a main
focus in all stages of our products
lifecycle. From design, development and
manufacturing, through to customer usage
and disposal, our products are designed
to help you conduct business in the most
environmentally sustainable manner
possible. Brother Australia conducts
environmental activities based on the
Brother Group’s “5 Rs”:
1. REDUCE
waste material by recycling
2. REUSE
products and waste material
3. REFUSE
to buy environmentally
unfriendly products
4. REFORM
materials and use again
5. RECYCLE
rather than scrap
This includes:
•
Restriction of Hazardous
Substances (RoHS)
– We avoid lead,
mercury and other hazardous
substances in the manufacture of
our products.
•
Energy Star

compliant products can make a huge
difference in our energy usage. Brother

machines, and Multi-Function Centres

power management
• Sleep mode

Earthwatch
–
committed to our
environment
Brother has joined forces with
Earthwatch to help find solutions
to some of Australia’s pressing
environmental challenges.
Earthwatch is an international
organisation which supports
scientific research and education to
promote the understanding and
action necessary for a sustainable
environment.
Together, Brother and Earthwatch
will support a national network of
research projects which focus on
tackling climate change and the
conservation of Earth’s precious
natural resources.
Brother employees and customers
will be actively involved in these
projects, volunteering their time to
become ‘Citizen Scientists’,
providing hands-on assistance to
the researchers in the field.
