Amphenol Australia is committed to reducing the burden on the environment by a programme of continuous improvement. This includes working towards eliminating all substances that are harmful to the environment, or where this is not possible, reducing their impact to an absolute minimum.
We will strive to meet or exceed the requirement of International laws, where we believe them to be sound environmental practice. We inform all Amphenol employees about the safe use of workplace chemicals and have in place procedures to evaluate all hazardous materials and also respond to emergencies involving hazardous materials.
We have, and will continue to provide, an environmentally sound workplace with a minimisation of all waste through:
a)recycling of packaging materials, and pallets, in our store / warehouse areas for dispatch of goods where possible,
b)entering into exchange and recycling agreements with clients for return of packaging materials such as ESD fibre optic assembly vacuum form trays,
c)entering into exchange and recycling agreements with suppliers for return of packaging materials such as plastic reels for stamped contacts,
d)marking of own manufacture product packaging with appropriate recycling symbols at the design stage,
e)subscribing to local recycling programs for paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminium, steel and glass, and promoting such programs internally to employees,
f)use of proper disposal methods for non-recy
