![]() Founded: 1999 as an independent company of Toshiba Corp. President and COO: Mark Mathews Chief Green Officer: Tom Walter, Director of After-Market Operations Toshiba America Business Solutions has a dream for the future. It’s called Environmental Vision 2050, and it goes like this: In 40 years, people will be enjoying rich lifestyles in harmony with the environment, creating an ideal situation for the planet. And the company is doing its part to make it happen – by reducing its environmental footprint while manufacturing products that help businesses and consumers do the same. Sounds like a contradiction? It’s not. Toshiba manufactures only EPA Energy Star-compliant products that are made of environmentally friendly materials. The company also launched a zero-waste-to-landfill toner cartridge collection program that repurposes the waste into a product called e-Lumber, which is made into items such as park benches and sustainable garden boxes. ![]() OC METRO'S 2010 GREEN TEAM Poseidon Resources | Green Foam Blanks | Alere The Costa Mesa Green Home | e-Recycling of California The Irvine Co. | Kaiser Permanente Irvine Medical Center B.
