OSRAM SYLVANIA’s innovative program of environmental responsibility -- ECOLOGICâ -- was designed as a thorough approach to reducing the environmental impact of our processes, packaging and products. Today, ECOLOGIC is even more comprehensive, having evolved to include other elements of sustainability, such as source reduction and reuse, recycling and recyclability, and environmental management systems in product manufacturing.
ECOLOGIC products are available in the incandescent, halogen, fluorescent and high-intensity discharge (HID) product families. All SYLVANIA products that are designated as ECOLOGIC are engineered to pass the Federal TCLP test for hazardous waste determination.
In addition, ECO products feature some or all of the following characteristics:
- Reduction or elimination of toxic materials
- Lamp bases using lead-free solders
- Welded lamp bases
- Lead-free glass in HID products
- Precision dosing systems ensuring consistent low mercury content
- Packaging using recycled materials and soy-based inks
- Permanent ECO identifier printed on lamp or stamped into metal base and "ECO" as part of the ordering abbreviation
- Performance equal to or better than standard, non-ECO products
- High efficacy
- Long life with sustained performance
