Product Life Cycle Product safety and performance are our primary objectives when designing our products’ life cycles. We factor a robust set of Sustainable Product Life Cycle Considerations into our product development and production processes, including: • Engineering for safety • Minimizing energy and resource use • Reducing hazardous substance use and GHG emissions • Minimizing waste • Enhancing recyclability and circularity Building Sustainability into Product Life Cycle Considerations We have mapped out a plan focused on sustainability and continuous improvement in product development. Our Sustainable Product Life Cycle Considerations influence our products’ design, manufacturing, operation, modification, and end-of-life processes. These guidelines challenge us to choose product and packaging materials that minimize our environmental impact. We also incorporate the same equipment and processes that we use for existing products where possible. This consideration reduces the carbon footprint of our manufacturing processes.
