Eco Friendly Printing
All our printing devices are “best in class” for energy efficiency. This is achieved by using ultra-fine toner which requires a lower fusing temperature that delivers superior print quality. The cost savings can be as high as 60% when compared to competitive offerings. Our Konica Minolta office products can implement a range of features which come into play by helping to save paper, increase productivity and reduce printing costs. It not only improves the efficiency of the printing and copying environment but also reduces its environmental impact.
Redefining Printing for a Sustainable Future!
It’s true that traditional printing has had its environmental challenges, but it’s time to reimagine the concept and embrace sustainable practices. While the paperless office may not have become a reality, we can still make a positive impact by adopting eco-friendly alternatives.
If you’re concerned about your environmental footprint and the costs associated with printing, we have the solution you’ve been searching for. Sustainable printing and paper options are now within reach!
By choosing sustainable printing, you can align your business with environmentally conscious practices while maintaining your operational needs. Together, we can make a difference and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.

MJ Flood is committed to meeting the requirements of the European Union (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations 2014. These Regulations require producers of electrical and electronic equipment to finance the takeback of WEEE resulting from products that we place on the Irish market. This helps us to ensure that WEEE is reused or recycled safely. In line with that commitment MJ Flood will take back WEEE from you. Please contact us for details.
You also have a role to play in ensuring that WEEE is reused and recycled safely. So, if you choose not to return WEEE to us then you should not dispose of it in your bin. The crossed out wheeled-bin symbol on the product reminds users not to dispose WEEE in the bin. You should ensure that the WEEE is collected separately and sent for proper treatment. WEEE contains hazardous substances and if not managed and treated safely it can cause pollution and damage human health.
Konica Minolta is committed to contributing to the protection of the global environment in whichever way possible. One essential aspect is the reduction of CO2 emissions as the main cause for global warming.
Combating climate change is one of the biggest challenges our global society faces this century. It is a challenge Konica Minolta is taking on with a wide range of countermeasures – avoiding, reducing and compensating CO2 emissions.
