Doing Our Part
Green – it’s quite the buzzword lately! Consumers are now making purchases based on how green they perceive a manufacturer is. So, what is Molex doing?
We’ll post updates here about Molex’s environmental compliance activities. Do Molex parts have hazardous substances? What is Molex doing to supply only compliant parts? Has Molex gone above and beyond legal requirements? How is Molex leading in this field?
My personal responsibilities include knowing environmental laws globally that impact electronic components, and working with Molex’s divisions to comply with the laws. We also survey our major customers for their requirements and develop our own global set of requirements. I am a member of a committee that includes representatives from each Molex product division. This committee works through the day-to-day challenges and opportunities of designing and selling compliant parts. Additionally, I’m a member of Molex’s Environmental Council, which sets Molex’s policies and drives our compliance activities globally.
If you need environmental information about a Molex connector you have purchased, contact ProductCompliance@molex.com . General questions/comments can be sent to ecocare@molex.com . Anything else – post here and let’s talk about it! We look forward to sharing our product compliance activities with you.
