Quality Programs
We conduct safety audits at our manufacturing facilities around the world. These audits assist our plant, warehouse and test lab management in understanding their health and safety requirements, and focus on implementing systems to continually improve in these areas. Out facilities have varying processes, depending upon the regulations in that country and the programs they have put in place.
Recycling
Our facilities recycle many of the materials they use to reduce our impact on the environment.
- Steel
- Cardboard
- Paper
Obsolete product literature and office paper waste is recycled, and company records are recycled annually as allowed by law. Our sales representatives use electronic devices in the field, reducing the need to carry printed literature. Our literature is also available online. Some of our facilities use eFax and eBilling solutions to reduce their paper consumption.
- Wood Pallets
Used to store or deliver materials are returned to our vendors for repair or parts, or repaired and recycled.
- Plastic Bottles
- Cans and Glass
- E-Waste
Computers and accessories, monitors and cell phones are data-cleansed before being sent for recycling. Printer ink cartridges are recycled at many branches using vendor-administered recycling programs.
