established, proactive program of environmental management.
Environmental management is an integral part of Acterna's
business philosophy and strategy requiring the development of
long-term, productive solutions to problems in the key areas of
economics, technology, and ecology.
A systematic environmental management program at Acterna is
essential in regard to environmental policy and enhances
cooperation between ourselves and our business partners.
The Acterna Environmental Management
Program considers:
Product design and manufacture
Environmental restrictions and requirements are taken into
account during planning and manufacture of Acterna products.
This attention ranges form the raw materials and finished
components selected for use and the manufacturing processes
employed, through to the use of energy in the factory, and right on
up to the final stages in the life of a product, including dismantling.
Hazardous materials
Acterna avoids or uses with care any hazardous or dangerous
material in themanufacturing process or the end product. If the
use of a dangerous material cannot be avoided, it is identified in
product documentation and clearly labeled on the product itself.
Packaging materials
Preference is given to reusable or biodegradable single-
substance packaging materials whenever possible.
