Our lamps designated as ECOLOGIC pass the U.S. EPA’s
Toxic Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test for
hazardous waste determination. Products meeting the TCLP
test may be declared “universal waste” in many states,
easing the administrative, storage and transportation
burdens for these products. (Check your state and local
governments for the most accurate regulations.)
ECOLOGIC lamps have little or no lead in their glass or
bases, and little or no mercury in the HID and fl uorescent
lamp types. Many of these products also offer additional
“green” features such as energy effi ciency and long life, and
are packaged using recycled and/or recyclable materials.
With more than 800 products meeting our strict ECOLOGIC
guidelines and bearing the distinct “ECO
®
” designation,
we offer more environmentally preferable lamp types than
any other manufacturer.
In 2006, the ECOLOGIC program celebrated its 10-year
anniversary. In those 10 years, we’ve avoided the use of
over 580 tons of lead from our soldering production, and
we’ve reduced the amount of mercury used in many of
our lamps by up to 92%.
ECOLOGIC
®
products are the industry’s
most comprehensive line of environmen-
