Siemens, for example, has implemented a new environmental protection campaign called the Sustainable Impact Program. This campaign combats CO2 emissions from two angles: refurbishing its own systems to save CO2 and contributing to CO2 absorption with planted trees in Indonesia. This program provides the economical and ecological benefits that customers are demanding. Now the buyer can afford a state-of-the-art system while directly contributing to environmental protection.
We can all be proud to be a part of our industry’s growing effort to help preserve and restore the environment, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. Placing such high quality standards on refurbished systems is only the first step in the lifecycle. Refurbishment means providing a second life: a second life to the actual system, but, in the much bigger picture, supporting the cause to protect our environment-now and in the long run.
