Earth Day: Plastics and the Oceans

Posted by Marc Ziccardi on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 @ 10:49 AM

Respect for our environment

is the way we do business at PNY.

Happy Earth Day from PNY! Back in 2009 PNY made serious steps to reduce the amount of plastic waste that winds up in landfills every year, and switched over to an eco-friendly packaging that contains 70% less plastic than our previous packaging. Additionally, PNY fully supports the aims of the RoHS and WEEE (WasteElectrical and Electronic Equipment) initiatives to develop production technologies and post-consumer programs that reduce the environmental impact of lead and other potentially hazardous substances. In support of these initiatives, PNY is implementing lead-free assembly in its production facilities with the substitution of a lead-free soldering alloy (consisting of tin, silver and copper) and manufacturing processes consistent with product reliability requirements.
