Product Life Cycle Product safety and performance are our primary objectives when designing our products’ life cycles. We consider a robust set of sustainability factors in our products and processes, including the following: • Engineering for safety • Minimizing energy and resource use • Reducing hazardous substance use and GHG emissions • Minimizing waste • Enhancing recyclability
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE CONSIDERATIONS Our objectives and key performance indicators map out a five-year 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. The guidelines challenge us to choose product and packaging materials that minimize our environmental impact.
Our TripSaver® II Cutout-Mounted Recloser helps customers modernize the grid and build a reliable, resilient system. The TripSaver II recloser reduces carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and saves utilities money by reducing the need to send a repair truck for temporary faults. Customers can see how many pounds of CO 2 emissions were prevented by installed TripSaver II reclosers with the calculator on our website.
