A "Green
Product" is one that reduces its environmental impact when
it is manufactured, used or destroyed. Products that contribute
to a safe and healthy environment for both humans and nature
are consider being Green. For manufactures, Green means using
a process to make products that limits or eliminates the amount
of hazardous chemicals and materials. This practice creates
a safe environment for the workers, users of the product and
the community.
Creating
a Green manufacturing process often requires a significant
investment by the manufacturer. Accell's parent company and
manufacturing arm, BizLink Technology, has established a comprehensive
environmental management system that minimizes or eliminates
the release of hazardous materials, including lead and cadmium,
two materials used extensively in high tech manufacturing.
To achieve this, BizLink spent six months establishing an
Environmental Quality Assurance system, an executive team
and a fully streamlined and Green-compliant factory to produce
environmentally friendly products. An independent audit of
BizLink's procedures for manufacturing a variety of products
was executed to ensure compliance. It found that BizLink is
manufacturing its products in a way that eliminates or minimizes
its environmental impact with respect to releasing such contaminants
as lead and cadmium
The Green
Product's packaging is designed to be eco-friendly by using
fewer materials. The packaging consists of materials such
as cardboard containing post consumer (recycled) materials
or a low impact plastic bag, all of which are recyclable.
The plastic bag is marked with a "4" recycle symbol identifying
the bags material as low-density polyethylene. This is an
element of Accell's Green Products initiative and part of
our drive to factor in environmental considerations through
the product entire life cycle.
