Our environmental management

We are certified! The ISO 14001 standard lays the foundation for establishing, implementing, monitoring and further developing environmental management systems.

Great care is called for when it comes to chemicals. The European Chemicals Regulation REACH imposes obligations on companies in this regard. REACH regulates the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals and thereby establishes the necessary transparency.

We pack our products in “smart” boxes, avoiding materials such as polystyrene and other fillers. We only use recyclable materials such as transport pallets, which are mostly made of cardboard.

The German Institute for Quality Assurance and Labelling (RAL) has been awarding the Blue Angel certificate since 1978. We are delighted to be a member of this important ecolabel and to make a contribution to protecting the environment.

Almost every one of our products meets the requirements of the "Energy Star" label. This means that a system's energy consumption in idle mode meets all the requirements specified by the energy-saving programme.

Above and beyond: the government has imposed strict limits on emissions to protect consumers. Our products register readings that fall significantly below these specified (voluntary) limit values, sometimes by a large degree. This applies to ozone, dust and styrene emissions.

UTAX is one of the founders of ear (elektro-altgeräte register, meaning "Register of Old Electric Devices"), which is responsible for coordinating the free disposal of electronic waste by manufacturers. It therefore follows that UTAX systems are returned to us in a professional manner.
