Developing Environmentally Friendly Products
As a responsible manufacturing enterprise, the LINTEC Group strives to develop products that reduce environmental impact. The group also works to reduce impact on the environment from resource extraction and the procurement of raw materials through production processes to disposal by including life-cycle assessments (LCA)* right from the design stage.
- *LCA: A method for comprehensively assessing effects on the environment by calculating items such as the amount of energy and water input, the amount of raw materials used, and the amount of CO2 and hazardous chemical substance emitted throughout a product’s lifecycle.
Guidelines for Environmentally Friendly Products
LINTEC has developed and uses guidelines for “self-declared environment-friendly products” which are in accordance with ISO 14021*. LINTEC will continue to develop environment-friendly products.
- *ISO 14021: An international standard for “Environmental labels and declarations -- Self-declared environmental claims (Type II environmental labeling)” A business operator sets its own standard and may place environmental claims on the labeling of a product which satisfy that standard.
