LightSources Wide-Ranging Green Business Practices Commitment

While LightSources is fully engaged in social involvement and programs, it also takes very seriously the company-wide objective of proactively developing environmentally-friendly technologies and implementing green business practices across a broad range of our products and processes.  By doing so we not only support the lives of individuals and groups in need but also our planet which we all share.

 

The focus of LightSources commitment is in three main areas: 1) continuous improvement of processes; 2) energy efficient products and; 3) recycling technologies.  Each of these areas are constantly being evaluated to make sure that not only are we meeting our current objectives as well as government mandates for green practices, but we are also looking ahead to new practices and technologies that will further enhance an eco-friendly agenda that we fully support.

 

An illustration of continuous improvement measures includes a strong emphasis on training for employees about environmental issues and proper best practices within the industry.  And along with training the LightSources group has implemented a process that uses measured mercury pellets for controlled mercury dosage and also lead-free phosphors.  

 

Energy efficient products are best accomplished by long lamp life.  LightSource products, from the LongLife TM UV germicidal lamp to the TriLight Max lighting lamps to our array of tanning lamps have long lives which mean fewer replacements thus reducing maintenance and replacement costs and fewer lamp recycling processes. All of these led to protection of our precious natural resources. 

 

Finally, recycling is accomplished at our LightTech facility with our own recycling equipment which allows us to meet the WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive for recycled materials.  This also greatly assists LightSources to prevent and reduce waste of electrical equipment during the production process. Any materials we cannot recycle are sent to Electro Coord where they are recycled.
