PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

Many of our products are often used to monitor the quality of environmental conditions consequently Trolex is also particularly aware of the need to protect human health and the environment in which we live.

The Company has instituted a radical environment protection policy to ensure that all aspects of our manufacturing programme have the minimum possible detrimental impact on the environment. This covers all stages beginning with sustainable product design supported by careful selection of the materials used in their production, through to managed recovery and disposal at the end of the useful life of a product.

This policy also incorporates the principles of the Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment (WEEE) directive, and the associated Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, to be implemented in EU countries.

Progress is already well advanced on the introduction of a completely new range of products that maximise the central principle of sustainable design with the intention of reducing the end-of-life cost to the end user.

All Trolex products are manufactured to exacting standards in accordance with our stringent quality control ethos. Having chosen to use one of our products will, in itself, guarantee extended durability and a long operating life, endorsed by our commitment to recycling and recovery.

  • All packaging materials are carefully selected to be bio-degradable or re-cycle able where possible.
  • All plastic materials are identified for recycling purposes and re-cycled materials are used where it is possible to do so.
  • Printing paper and material are sourced from suppliers that have a declared environmental management system.
  • Product design centred around high quality and long term durability. Modular architecture both in construction and software design suitable for future upgrades and adaptability to alternative duty.
  • Ease of product disassembly, minimisation of fixing devices, and clear separation of functional parts to benefit re-use and re-cycling.
  • Control and monitoring of suppliers of components and sub-assemblies. Deal only with suppliers that have a defined commitment to environmental monitoring principles.
  • Control the use of restricted substances within the design process. Deal only with suppliers that have a defined commitment to the control of restricted substances.
  • Provide an efficient high speed service within Trolex for repair, refurbishing and conversion of products for alternative duty.
  • Provision of an end-of-life product Take-back service for recovery, re-use, and recycling of electrical and electronic components. Retain the packaging of a new product and re-use it to return the device to us at the end of its working life. Trolex will guarantee to recover all materials and components, where practicable and arrange for them to be re-cycled in an appropriate and in a safe manner.
