The range of optical products is recognised by US-based Sphera, an ESG performance consulting services company, and verified by Metsims Sustainability Consulting, a global sustainability consulting firm.
These ISO 14024 and EU guidelines compliant Ecolabels granted to STL's products are multi-attribute in nature, which means they cover many distinct environmental parameters such as energy use, chemical use, recycling, and more.
STL says that when compared to standard products, these Eco-labelled products:
* Utilise ~52% less energy
* Carry ~75% less global warming potential
* Use ~18% more recycled content and ~25% more recycled packaging material and water
* Reuse and recover ~20% more waste
* Enhance the longevity of the network by nearly 13 years.
"As we announce this groundbreaking development today, I couldn't have been prouder. Our Eco-labelled products represent a monumental step forward for our customers' green journeys and put India at the forefront of concrete sustainability action. I'm sure it would create ripple effects of sustainable development in the entire digital networks industry across the world," said Ankit Agarwal, Managing Director, STL.
