Today’s concerns – globalization, economic market contraction and concern for our environment – make this a most challenging time to be in business. Symtek knows what to do, and how to do it well. With decades of experience in engineering, business and social responsibility, the employees at Symtek are creating a new company – a new brand – built on quality, innovation and responsibility. We provide you with useful tools to make the most out of every day.
Today, there is no doubt of the evidence on global climate change. The environment is no longer somebody else's problem. Although we are all impacted differently, responsible companies implement best practices to meet today's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. For Symtek, Responsible Technology® isn't an afterthought to improve the bottom line. It's a way of life and our way of doing business.
What is Responsible Technology®?
Responsible Technology® is a start-to-finish commitment to producing a product that respects the user, the manufacturer, all stakeholders and members of the supply chain and our environment.
Whenever possible, manufacture RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant electronics and accessories. RoHS is a European directive that forbids the use of a variety of hazardous substances in electronic equipment such as lead, mercury and cadmium.
We are always looking at ways to:
- Downsize our packaging to preserve natural resources like trees, used for insert cards and corrugated boxes, and oil, used to make clamshells and blisters.
- Increase units per container to reduce carbon emissions used in sea and land transport.
- Use more recycled materials to reduce the amount of solid waste going to our landfills.
- Whenever possible, manufacture RoHS compliant electronics and accessories. RoHS is a European directive that forbids the use of a variety of hazardous substances in electronic equipment such as lead, mercury and cadmium.
In this day and age, people care about protecting the environment. Symtek is a company, made up of people that care, too.
