Making Our Products Environmentally Friendly - Packaging
Certain types of products within GE's halogen lamp
range are packed in recyclable blisters, where the paper and plastic compartments can be easily
separated and recycled.
In the case of some automotive lamps all plastic packaging is applied.
A special feature of the linear fluorescent lamps is that they come in a re-usable Take Care
SystemTM packaging, ensuring an easier and environmentally-friendly waste handling system.
To pack incandescent and compact fluorescent light-sources, a so called ECO-BLISS design is
under construction, which consists of a paper back and a plastic cover, fixed together with a
special glue that contains no toxic materials.
GE Consumer Products Lighting Europe has achieved and continuously maintained that 80-90% of
the cardboard and 50-60* % of the corrugated products used in its packaging are recycled
materials.
GE Consumer Products Lighting Europe is launching many projects each year to find ways to
minimize packaging cost, and materials used.
*This recycled material content can be regarded as maximum, bearing in mind the quality
requirements.
