8 AS180/AS185
The Gigaset AS180 and AS185 are manufactured exclusively in Germany. Gigaset Communications
attaches prime importance to compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Through its
management system and environmental performance Gigaset Communications is able to meet
these requirements and continues to improve. It goes without saying that Gigaset Communications
also respects all local environmental requirements.
The high degree of automation in Gigaset Communications production processes has a limited
impact on the environment through energy saving and efcient machine utilization. For example,
the electronic circuit board of these devices is produced solely on a production line with a cycle time
under 6 seconds and an efciency greater than 75%.
Gigaset Communications believes in a short feedback path for testing. All process parameters
are controlled cyclically so that any problems can be detected promptly (before they arise) and
nonconformance is minimized. Every step in the value chain is checked separately to help identify
potential errors at an early stage. Process controls and short feedback paths for testing therefore
minimize material waste (components and process aids). Rejects are continuously monitored with
the goal of achieving a rate of less than 1%.
Packaging material and electronic scrap are strictly separated in “environmental islands” at Gigaset
Communications production facilities and recycled by local service providers. To reduce volume,
the individual materials are compacted by roller presses. The compaction ratio for cardboard boxes is,
for example, 6:1. This enables more efcient transportation of around 800 tons of cardboard per year.
Gigaset Communications is especially
committed to protecting the health and
safety of its manufacturing employees.
This is why Gigaset Communications takes
such great care to protect its employees at
their workplace. This includes steps such
as responsible management, instruction,
sensitization and process engineering,
prevention of and planning for emergencies,
systematic investigation into the causes
of accidents, quick availability of medical
aid, documentation, regular reporting and
continuous improvement.
