Other Environmental Practices: General Environmental Management - Sturdy Corporation has an active Environmental Management Systems Team and we are an ISO-14001 certified supplier. Source Reduction: Source Reduction - New products are designed with ROHS compliance materials, specifically using Pb-free solder. Legacy products may require use of Pb solder to meet standards to operate in harsh environments. The use of leaded solder will be based on customer requirements for product integrity until compliance technologies and/or materials are developed. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Sturdy Corporation has an active Recycling program that engages in waste material reduction and recycling of as many materials and possible. Current recycling programs include; batteries, E-waste, metals (brass/ aluminum/ copper/ stainless steel/ steel), lead. cardboard, paper, glass, wood, and styrofoam. |

W82: Ongoing efforts to change to lead-free solder. Redesign of legacy products to move away from leaded solder that will meet customer requirements. Due to the harsh operating environments or operating characteristics of various products, Tin / Lead solder will be required for product integrity until new technologies or materials are developed. Source Reduction - All new electronic products to be developed and tested with Pb-free solder / solder paste. As an ISO-14001 certified supplier we are actively moving away from Pb solder via wave soldering process. Currently utilizing selective point soldering, and redesigning legacy products that will meet operational guidelines in adverse environments utilizing Pb-free components and materials. Other Environmental Practices - Sturdy Corporation has an active Environmental Management Team that engages in waste material reduction and recycling. Current recycling programs include; batteries, E-waste, metals, (brass/ aluminum/ copper/ stainless-steel/ steel), lead, cardboard, paper, glass, wood, and Styrofoam. |
