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 station. The ac-
tual percentages vary in relation to the station configuration. The power supply is not includ-
ed 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 sub-
jected to any process which will generate dust.
Over 92% of the station is made of aluminum, one of the most recycled materials 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 plastics is limited.
The plastic which has been used for the front panel is a relatively clean and pure resin.
