The Creation of "Environmentally Conscious Products" and the E-CORE Series
Environmentally Conscious Products (ECP) are products designed to reduce environmental impact at every stage of the product life cycle. At the Toshiba Group, we set Voluntary Environmental Targets for Products. In addition to ECP, we certify products in which the factors have been further improved, and which lead the industry in terms of major environmental performance indicators, as "Excellent ECP."
Factor T and Eco-efficiency
An indicator that expresses a new luxury
Aiming to realize a sustainable society, we use eco-efficiency as an indicator that balances luxury with consideration for the environment, enabling us to simultaneously assess a product's value and its environmental impact. This number becomes larger the smaller the environmental impact and the greater the value of the product becomes. Its magnitude expresses the magnitude of a new luxury.
Eco-efficiency of Selected E-CORE Products
The E-CORE Series receives a high Factor T rating in comparison to conventional incandescent bulbs.
Excellent ECP-certified products (Fiscal 2009)
And of course it doesn't stop there. At Toshiba, we believe that understanding and assessing environmental impact will enable us to achieve increased environmental efficiency for our products. We are researching a process in which this concept is put into practice and employed in product development.
