EEE/RoHS and Lead-Free Statement
Air Gap International is committed to environmental stewardship and is proactive in our efforts to mitigate the environmental impact of our operations. Air Gap International monitors lead-free legislation and requirements by the EPA, ASA, and our certifying laboratories. Air Gap International’s products are listed and approved by APMO/UPC.
We embrace the adoption of WEEE and RoHS standards. Though it was only required in certain countries, we converted all our products for sale in the U.S. and worldwide to environmentally friendly RoHS 2.0 compliance. Air Gap International air gaps and drain line adapters are lead-free under the Safe Drinking Water Act.
We also practice green thinking in our daily operations: recycling paper and toner cartridges and using rechargeable batteries. We also use electronic media for things traditionally kept on paper, such as employee manuals, work instructions, user guides, and drawings. We use motion detectors to turn off lights in rarely used areas or task lighting instead of overhead warehouse lights where possible.
For over 30 years, Air Gap International has made every effort to reduce landfill waste. For example, excess packaging material from the production process and clean packaging from our receiving department make excellent packing material in shipping. Cardboard boxes and pallets are reused or stored for pickup by local merchants who need them.
Air Gap International recognizes that international companies must show leadership in caring for the environment and demonstrate a commitment to future generations’ health and quality of life. We will continue to apply environmentally friendly processes in all our operations.
