Environmental Policy
Amphenol Australia is committed to reducing the burden on the environment by a programme of continuous improvement. This includes working towards eliminating all substances that are harmful to the environment, or where this is not possible, reducing their impact to an absolute minimum.
We will strive to meet or exceed the requirement of International laws, where we believe them to be sound environmental practice. We inform all Amphenol employees about the safe use of workplace chemicals and have in place procedures to evaluate all hazardous materials and also respond to emergencies involving hazardous materials.
We have, and will continue to provide, an environmentally sound workplace with a minimisation of all waste through:
- Recycling of packaging materials, and pallets, in our store / warehouse areas for dispatch of goods where possible
- Entering into exchange and recycling agreements with clients for return of packaging materials such as ESD fibre optic assembly vacuum form trays
- Entering into exchange and recycling agreements with suppliers for return of packaging materials such as plastic reels for stamped contacts
- Marking of own manufacture product packaging with appropriate recycling symbols at the design stage
- Subscribing to local recycling programs for paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminium, steel and glass, and promoting such programs internally to employees
- Use of proper disposal methods for non-recyclable materials
- The use of responsible licensed contractors
Management will ensure that employees take the responsibility for protecting the environment seriously in all phases of development, manufacturing, handling, distribution, use and disposal of our products and by-products.
REACH 241 Technical Bulletin 24-04
RoHS Compliance Status – Professional Audio Products
Amphenol Australia is supportive of the requirements of the European Parliament EU Directive 2011/65/EU on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment – also more commonly known as the “RoHS Directive”. As a long term designer and manufacturer of professional audio products, Amphenol Australia has always sought to design and manufacture products with both environmental conscience while maintaining high technical standards. This is why for instance our audio ranges already feature contact electroplate finishes in pure tin, silver, nickel and gold and we have avoided lead and lead compound finishes.
At Amphenol Australia we have in place a technical group that has focused particularly on the issue of RoHS compliance as the directive covers several substances, not only lead and lead compounds.
Furthermore Amphenol Australia has implemented packaging identification with our RoHS compliance marking. These markings will be seen on our package boxes next to the identification panel as stock is dispatched.
