Choosing Vantiva : a responsible investment
As a customer premises equipment manufacturer, whose devices are used by billions of people around the globe, we have a unique role to play in this effort. To that effect, we have implemented a number of measures to reduce our environmental impact.
Recycled plastic for device casings
One of the most visible ways we are making a difference is through the use of recycled plastic in our device casings. This allows us to reduce the amount of new plastic being produced, which in turn reduces the amount of energy and resources required for manufacturing. This also helps to keep plastic waste out of landfills and oceans, which is a critical step in combating the global plastic pollution crisis.
Reducing power consumption
Vantiva has been a pioneer in power consumption reduction, being one of the initiators of voluntary agreements on the power consumption of devices almost 20 years ago. We continue to make significant investments in research and development to create devices that use less power without sacrificing performance. We have also implemented power management features that help in further reducing energy usage. By minimizing the power consumption of our devices, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint, but also helping our customers to reduce theirs.
Reducing single-use packaging
Another important aspect of our sustainability efforts is reducing the amount of single-use packaging. We have worked hard to design packaging that is smaller, lighter, and uses fewer materials, while still providing the necessary protection for our products during shipping. We have also shifted to using more sustainable materials in our packaging, such as paper and cardboard, which are easier to recycle than traditional plastics.
Optimizing transportation
Sustainability goes beyond power and recycling. In addition to these efforts, we are also working to optimize our transport processes. Improving the way we fill containers enables us to transport more products in a single shipment, reducing the number of trips required and the associated carbon emissions. We are using several transport methods, such as rail and sea, across more than 300 shipping routes — an effort that is more environmentally friendly than air freight.
Circular economy: a green approach to product design
As a key part of our commitment to sustainability, we continuously explore ways to move towards a circular economy model. This means designing our products with end-of-life considerations in mind and working to keep materials in use for as long as possible. Efforts to make our products more easily disassembled and recyclable allows us to reuse remaining materials to create new products. By embracing the principles of the circular economy, we are taking a proactive approach to reducing waste and creating a more sustainable future.
Engaging customers, suppliers & partners
In the end, we recognize that sustainability is not something we can achieve alone. That’s why we are committed to engaging with our customers, suppliers, and partners to identify the best environmental practices — seeking out companies that are committed to reducing their environmental impact, too. We work closely with our customers to provide the tools and information they need to make more sustainable choices when it comes to their devices and solutions. By working all together in an ecosystem of shared values, we can make a positive difference in the world and leave a greener planet for generations to come.
