ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
The material content of the MTR2000 is 16% of the product it replaces.
The following table provides a rough estimate of the material content of the sta-
tion. The actual percentages vary in relation to the station configuration. The
power supply is not included in the percentage of weights since the end-of -life
value is dependent on the model of supply used in the station.
Most of the Material categories are self explanatory. Copper bearing materials:
• include any material that contains copper.
• primarily consist of circuit boards.
• exclude cables (separate Material category).

Beryllium Oxide has been used in the power amplifier. Beryllium Oxide should
not be subjected to any process which will generate dust.
Over 92% of the station is made of aluminum, one of the most recycled materi-
als commonly available today. In addition, the aluminum used in the station
consists of 90-95% recycled content.
Plastic use has been minimized since the market for recycled engineering plas-
tics is limited. The plastic which has been used for the front panel is a relatively
clean and pure resin.
