Canon Cameras Instruction Manual:The 'green' calculators released by Canon have an upper and lower case made from 100 percent recycled photocopiers. The packaging and instruction manuals are also made from recycled materials.
Many of the calculators in this range are dual powered by battery and solar panel. This dual power helps to reduce energy use and prolong the life of the battery. These calculators also have replaceable batteries, helping to extend their life and minimise waste. The larger calculators in this range are powered by a connection to the mains supply.
The recycled calculator range was launched by Canon in January 2008. Two new recycled calculators have recently been added to this range; the LS-120TSG and the F502G. These two new additions have similar features to the rest of the recycled calculator range such as front and back covers made from 100 percent recycled photocopier material and dual power (solar and battery). The F502G has the added benefit of including a protective hard and durable cover that is also made from recycled photocopiers. Both these calculators also feature replaceable batteries and auto-power off, helping to lengthen their life and minimise waste. The LS-120TSG has been designed specifically for corporations as it can perform complex business calculations. The F502G is a scientific calculator, aimed at students and teachers.
Canon photocopiers, printers and multifunctional devices are made from tough and durable materials. By making calculators out of materials sourced from recycled Canon photocopiers, quality, durability and sustainability are assured. One photocopier could contain enough plastic to make up to 259 LS-63TG calculators. The only parts of these calculators made of new plastic are the acrylic display covers and the keys. By making these new calculators from recycled photocopiers, the amount of new plastic being manufactured can be reduced and the durable and high quality materials used to make photocopiers can be put to good use when the photocopier reaches the end of its life.
