Energy rating
January 1st 2008 CMP Batteries, part of Exide
Technologies, has introduced a
new product rating classification
which has been designated as a
finalist in the 'Environment'
category of the 2008 Fork Lift Truck
Association Awards.
The scheme is designed to help
companies assess and reduce
their carbon footprint.
CMP's range of batteries and
chargers are now rated on two
criteria: energy use and
recyclability. Each product is rated
between one globe for the least
efficient and seven globes for the
most efficient. Energy rating is
based on labour, carbon dioxide
emissions and water consumption.
Recyclability rating is based on life
expectancy and the percentage of
the product that is able to be
recycled at the end of its life. More articles from CMP Batteries Limited/ Exide Technologies: |
