Environmental economics and mathematics: two new additions to Canon’s ‘Green’ calculator series
 

Further underpinning its continued commitment to reducing environmental impact, Canon today introduces two new ‘Green’ calculators: LS-120TSG.and the F-502G The new additions follow on from the highly successful Green series launched in January 2008 and also join the desktop calculator and scientific line ups, respectively.
The corporate philosophy ‘Kyosei’, adopted as far back as 1988, established Canon as an environmentally aware company. With strategies and measures introduced across the business to minimise environmental impact, Canon is now positioned as a global leader in sustainable development. Launched last year, the first series of Green calculators made from recycled Canon copier materials – including printing, desktop and award-nominated handheld models  – received global acclaim.
New models to the range in 2009, the LS-120TSG and F-502G use 100% recycled plastic for their front and back covers. In addition, the F-502G features a hard cover to protect it while being carried around – this is also made from 100% recycled Canon copier plastic. By using materials sourced from recycled Canon copiers, quality, durability and sustainability is assured. Both models feature replaceable batteries and Auto-power Off, lengthening the life of the calculator and minimising waste. The LS-120TSG also uses solar-power to further reduce energy consumption.
“Offering products with less environmental impact through innovative improvements in resource efficiency is a fundamental part of our commitment to harmonising business and sustainability interests,” said Sam Oomen, Product Manager, Canon Middle East. “We’re proud to produce products, such as the Green calculator series, that help corporations and individuals reduce their environmental footprint.”
The LS-120TSG is a mini-desktop calculator and joins the TS-1200TCG and
HS-1200TCG in the green desktop display calculator range. With Cost, Sell and Margin functions, as well as tax calculation capability, users can make quick work of complex business calculations without the need for spreadsheets and lengthy formulas. The LS-120TSG is ideal for any corporation with a green procurement policy.
The F-502G is positioned as the Green series’ first scientific calculator. Aimed at environmentally conscious teachers and students, it incorporates a range of useful mathematical and scientific features ideal for study.
