Preservation of the environment as part of a sustainable development logic is an essential
concern of SAGEM SA.
The desire of SAGEM SA is to operate systems observing the environment and consequently
it has decided to integrate environmental performances in the life cycle of its products, from
manufacturing to commissioning, use and elimination.
During the development of the D20 product, the concern for the environment was
incorporated, amongst other occasions, by:
•
Optimization of the choice of materials to minimize/reduce depletion of resources:
-
Use of recycled paper for these users instructions,
-
Use of recycled material for packaging.
•
Participation in collection organizations:
-
The presence of the green spot means that SAGEM SA pays a subscription to
an approved national organization. This subscription makes it possible to
develop infrastructures conjointly with local communities to improve recovery
and recycling of packaging.
-
The product and consumables (batteries) with the barred dustbin logo must
not, in any case whatsoever be thrown away randomly or put inside dustbins
with other wastes (batteries must be removed before disposing of the product
at the end of its life cycle in compliance with instructions in this brochure).
Collection points are made available by the town halls or by distributors.
Also, observe the sorting rules defined for packaging waste.
•
An improvement to the recyclable nature of the product:
-
Decrease to the number of different types of material used in the product.
-
Intentional marking of the plastic parts (if technically possible), to facilitate their
handling.
-
Reduction in the use of materials dangerous for the environment (no PBB and
PBDE based fire retardants; NiMH batteries without heavy metals, etc.).
