According to Greenpeace the Portégé R600 is well ahead of other manufacturers, scoring the highest marks for avoiding hazardous chemicals in the Notebooks. “Toshiba continues to lead innovative mobile computing technology and aims to reduce environmental impact,” says Mark Whittard, general manager, Toshiba ISD ANZ. “The award is testament to Toshiba’s long-standing commitment to sustainable environmental practices in the design and manufacture of its products and solutions. Toshiba are pretty proud of this, and have started a competition today to give away one of the AU$3000+ cuties. To enter, jump to this link , and view the Blunty3000 Channel video, choose a piece of music that complements a creative video that transforms a pool of water into an ice sculpture of the Portégé R600 notebook, and you could walk home with a new notebook. But hurry, the competition is proving popular according to campaign collaborators Toshiba, Autumn01 and Zing. According to Toshiba: The ultra- portable notebook is also ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant and features a LED backlit display, the latest CPUs, the option for a Solid State Drive (SSD) as a storage medium that results in low energy consumption and long battery life, further reducing its environmental impact. “Toshiba believes that when it comes to award-winning products that less is more. We minimise waste and use recycled materials wherever we can, while constantly looking for ways to reduce energy consumption,” Mr Whittard said. “Our own recycling programs keep discarded technology from fouling the soil and atmosphere, as does our devotion to worldwide environmental initiatives. Plus, we check to see that the people who make the materials that go into our products follow earth-friendly practices just as we do so we all can enjoy mobile computing amid a cleaner, more sustainable environment.” “The life-cycle approach is good for life. One of our key objectives is to reduce the environmental impact of our products throughout their life-cycle. To do this, we assess every stage of the process, from procurement through to disposal.” Mr Whittard concluded. |
