This distinction is also clear in our heightened awareness of environmental issues. It can be seen in our focus on power saving, in line with the Green Law already in force in Japan and USA and the Kyoto Protocol. KOBRA shredders are fitted with the "ENERGY SMART" Led system which means zero power consumption when the machine is on standby - an annual carbon dioxide emissions reduction of roughly 65 kg per machine. There is also our contribution to waste separation with the double waste bin in the KOBRA 240, KOBRA 240 TURBO, KOBRA+2 and KOBRA+3 shredders, that no need of plastic bags, to separate paper shreds from the plastic of CD-ROMs, DVDs, Floppy disks and credit cards shredded. Finally, we also produce waste bags made of recyclable plastic for use with our shredders.

Uniqueness, high quality, added value and innovation, these are the cornerstones of KOBRA products together with our focus on customer satisfaction and loyalty as well as the environment.
