presents the following relevant environmental aspects.
Manufacturing
Manufactured at a production site complying with the regulations.
Distribution
Weight and volume of the packaging optimized, based on the European Union’s
packaging directive.
Packaging weight is 48,24 g, consisting of cardboard (99,3%) and paper (0,7%).
Installation
Reference product is easily installed using hand tools. It does not require
additional components to be installed and in this stage the only waste produced
is the packaging.
Use
The product does not produce noise, air pollution, electromagnetic emissions.
It does not require special maintenance operations.
End of life
End of life optimized to decrease the amount of waste and allow recovery of the
product components and materials.
This product contains Plastics with Brominated FR (between 0,88g and 1,76g)
that should be separated from the stream of waste so as to optimize end-of-life
treatment.
The location of these components and other recommendations are given in the
End of Life Instruction document which is available on the Schneider-Electric
Green Premium website.
