Environmental Label Certified Products
KYOCERA Document Solutions has been actively promoting the acquisition of various environmental labels, aiming to provide products that are safe and comfortable for customers to use and have minimal environmental impact.
The ISO* defines the three types of environmental labels: Types I, II and III. The following are descriptions of each environmental label and our environmental label certified products.
From the beginning of each of our product development projects, we aim at the satisfaction of environmental standards of all major type-I environmental labels such as the Eco Mark and the Blue Angel, and are aggressive in our acquisition of these accreditations.
In addition, as part of our efforts to improve the level of environment-friendliness of our products, we have been also promoting the registration of our products under the type-III EcoLeaf Environmental Label program and information release for our registered products. Shown below is an outline of each environmental label and our products accredited under each program.

Type-II Environmental Labels
Type-II environmental labels are self-declared labels where companies establish their own criteria and certify their own products in order to claim that their products are environmentally conscious.
Type-III environmental labels
Under the Type-III environmental label program, the negative environmental impact of a product from raw material extraction to disposal is calculated using the LCA method and its results are quantitatively analyzed and disclosed. The general rules and procedures of Type III environmental labels are stipulated in ISO14025. A major feature of this program is that it only discloses quantitative data of products and leaves the decision whether to purchase the relevant products to (potential) users.
EcoLeaf Environmental Label (Japan)
EcoLeaf Environmental Label was introduced by the Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry (JEMAI), and its implementation started in 2002. It conforms with the framework of the Type III environmental labels stipulated by ISO, and consists of three forms: the Product Environmental Aspects Information Declaration (PEAD), the Product Environmental Information Data Sheet (PEIDS) and the Product Data Sheet (PDS).
Others
International Energy Star Program
International ENERGY STAR Program is an international power-saving program for office automation equipment. It has been implemented since October 1995 as a registration program where Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency mutually grant certification to products. Products that meet certain standards can be labeled with the International Energy Star Logo.

Law on Promoting Green Purchasing (Japan)
The Law on Promotion of Procurement of Eco-Conscious Goods and Services by the State and Other Entities (the so-called Green Purchasing Law), which went into effect in April 2001, requires the state and other public institutions to purchase products and services with lower negative environmental impact.
As a yardstick for customers when considering purchasing our products, KYOCERA Document Solutions marks products that meet the standards for eco-conscious goods and services stipulated by the Law with its own compliance on its catalogues and website.
