NOTES TO EDITORS
Environmental Info
Sony is engaged in a constant review of its manufacturing, operational and
business practices to ensure that its products are developed in an
environmentally responsible way. This approach can broadly be divided into
three areas:
Environmental Information: 3Ps
Product: The Power Consumption on Standby mode is only 0.1 watt.
Halogenated materials may pose a risk to the environment if disposed of
improperly. To minimize this risk for the DVD-NS708 DVD Player, the flame
retardants of the front panel and certain printed circuit boards are
halogen-free.
Process: The packaging cushions used to protect the DVD Player NS708 are
made from paper, of which 70% or more is recycled paper.
The instruction manual is printed on 70% or more recycled paper using VOC
(Volatile Organic Compound)-free vegetable oil based ink.
Planet: Sony is determined to lead the way as a responsible manufacturer,
and as a result we are focussing on three key areas of investment:
1. Reducing CO2 gas emissions
2. Increasing the percentage of renewable energy used in manufacturing
facilities
3. Minimising the resources used by our factories in manufacturing
