The Future is Even Greener
At Enterasys, we are continuing to investigate new environmental standards and practices. |
ENERGY STAR– Enterasys is working with the US Environmental Protection Agency and EPEAT to define power consumption metrics for networking equipment in relation to ENERGY STAR compliance. |
 |
Recycling–We are also investigating ways to make product retirement (through reuse or recycling) as easy for customers as a new product purchase. We recognize the challenges of recycling practices in a number of geographies and will focus on exploring product recovery services in emerging markets. |
 |
IEEE 802.3az–Energy Efficient Ethernet – A working group was recently established to looks at ways to reduce power consumption during periods of low link utilization. We are drafting requirements for upcoming product releases based on this standard. |
 |
ISO 14001– We endeavor to work with suppliers who meet the highest efficiency standards possible. Several of our manufacturing and components partners are ISO 14001 compliant, ensuring best practices around sound environmental manufacturing and safety practices. |
Enterasys continues to work on ways in which we can make our solutions even more sustainable and eco-friendly for the benefit of our environment, our business and that of our customers.
