GREEN PRODUCT PROCUREMENT
The EC is actively promoting the WEEE & RoHS Directives that define standards for
recycling and reuse of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and for the Restriction of
the use of certain Hazardous Substances. From July 1, 2006, the RoHS Directive will
prohibit any marketing of new products containing the restricted substances.
Increasing attention is given to issues related to the global environmental. Toshiba
Corporation recognizes environmental protection as a key management tasks, and is doing its
utmost to enhance and improve the quality and scope of its environmental activities. In line
with this, Toshiba proactively promotes Green Procurement, and seeks to purchase and use
products, parts and materials that have low environmental impacts.
Green procurement of parts is not only confined to manufacture. The same green parts used
in manufacture must also be used as replacement parts.
