eco style   Greening of Process
Print This Page

Clean room at a semiconductor plantThe Greening of Process encompasses a three-pronged approach to reduce our impact on the environment from our manufacturing operations: mitigation of climate change, management of chemicals and efficient use of resources.

To reduce CO2 emissions, we have taken actions to implement energy-efficient processes and equipment in our operations. Some examples include installation of high-efficiency chillers and air-conditioning systems, LED lighting and effective utilization of waste heat.

Our chemical management initiatives were developed to help reduce emissions to the environment. For example, we installed emission removal systems, reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and substituted alternative substances in our production facilities to minimize the impact of our operations on the environment.
Recycling Programs

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's PLUG-IN To ECycling program and eBay's Rethink Initiative provide opportunities to help others by passing on refurbished equipment and reusing materials to make new products.
