Kyoceras approach to sustainability is based on a waste reduction strategy  the company strives to reduce the amount of resources its products consume, both in their manufacture and during their lifetime. At the heart of this is the Kyocera ECOSYS printer technology, which uses unique long-life drums and toner developers which are designed (and indeed guaranteed) to last for the design life of Kyocera's workgroup printers. In other laser printers, these items are contained in the consumable cartridge and replaced each time the toner runs out; by making them permanent components Kyocera greatly reduces the amount of waste generated by its printers as well as cutting the cost of printer supplies, typically by more than 50%.

It doesnt stop there. Kyocera's workgroup printers emit no ozone and every single plastic component is ID coded for easy recycling at end of life.
