At Axiom we recognize that we live in an increasingly interconnected world. More than ever, a commitment to the wellbeing of our shared community - locally, nationwide and across the globe - is critical to our collective wellbeing as organizations and as individuals. We strive to demonstrate this commitment though environmentally responsible practices, stringent adherence to quality and safety measures and community welfare programs.
Axiom believes that caring for our planet is a responsibility we all share. To that
end we are committed to minimizing the impact of our business activities on the
environment. As a technology manufacturer, we are particularly focused on ensuring
that our practices and products comply with US and global environmental directives
such as RoHS.
Proper disposal of electronic products is another important way to help safeguard
our world for future generations. In the United States, the fastest growing solid
waste stream, e-waste, accounts for 70% of all US toxic waste.1 At present, only
12.5% is recycled2 and global e-waste is predicted to increase 33% by 2017 - for
a combined weight equivalent to 200 Empire State Buildings.3
Our unique Trade-up / Trade-in / Recycle Program empowers our customers to do their
part for the environment by providing an easy way to responsibly dispose of their
used memory and cabling products, while also offering a credit on future memory
purchases.
To further our commitment to reducing the environmental impact of improper electronics
disposal, Axiom has partnered with Go Green E-waste Recyclers, an electronic recycling
company providing a complete environmentally sound solution. Guided by a "No Landfill"
policy, Go Green E-waste Recyclers is committed to developing and implementing ways
to limit electronic waste and prevent it from ending up in landfills. To this end
Go Green partners with several state organizations including:
Together, we can make a lasting impact on the health of our planet. We encourage our
customers to take advantage of our convenient Trade-up / Trade-in / Recycle Program
when their Axiom products have reached end-of-life. For our part, we will continue
to make environmental awareness a cornerstone of our policies, seeking partnerships
with businesses with a similar commitment to minimizing hazardous materials and
the appropriate reuse and recycling of e-waste.
