Our commitment to environmental sustainability extends well beyond the bulb. Environmental stewardship is a fundamental part of our business ethic. We increasingly use fewer natural resources, save energy in our manufacturing, reduce power plant emissions, and recycle lamps and other materials to ultimately avoid adding millions of pounds of waste each year to landfills. OSRAM SYLVANIA is committed to reducing and/or eliminating the use of hazardous materials in our products, including lead and mercury and low level radioactive elements.
