Customer feedback

Hughes Electronics Ltd. are fully committed to passing on to future generations a safer and more sustainable world. Our Research and Development program is dedicated to finding more and better ways of developing recycled materials within our current product profile and creating improved and greater sustainable products. Current products in development are e.Power, a radical, new energy-saving and communication system, and Econnet, a high-performance data cabling system manufactured entirely from recycled materials.

Our company strives to create a supply chain of partners who share our vision of giving back to our planet some of the resources we humans have availed ourselves of.

In addition to developing more environmentally sustainable products, Hughes Electronics are continually working to improve our working practices, aims and objectives in regard to the protection of our ecology.

Specific Aims:

  • Cultivate a work ethic with a high level of environmental awareness.
  • Develop a waste management strategy, which accommodates recycling procedures and initiatives.
  • Minimise card waste by recycling packaging materials whenever possible.
  • Encourage the purchase of recycled materials and those, which are suitable for disposal by recycling.
  • Where possible favour suppliers who also have positive recycling and waste management policies.
  • Continue to develop and improve the range and scope of our own recycling schemes.
  • Encourage departments and individuals to take responsibility for their own waste and establish links with the local recycling schemes.
  • Encourage the use of “pedal power” wherever possible, including transport between company buildings.
  • Energy conservation, by turning off lights when rooms are going to be unoccupied, only turn on machinery and manufacturing equipment over a period when it is required.
  • Redundant I.T. hardware to be given to employees and charitable institutions, for re-use and redistribution.

REACH

REACH is the EU chemicals legislation dealing with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals. REACH covers chemical substances as such, in preparations or in articles intended to be released. The regulation replaces numerous EU laws and is complementary to other environmental and safety legislation.



The aims of REACH are to:

  • Improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals
  • Enhance the competitiveness of the EU chemicals industry, a key sector for the economy of the EU
  • Promote alternative methods for the assessment of hazards of substances
  • Ensure the free circulation of substances on the internal market of the European Union

Hughes Electronics is classed as an importer or distributor of “articles” as defined in REACH Article 3(3).

As a distributor, Hughes Electronics does not manufacture any of the components it sells and does not add any chemicals during the handling process.

Products sold by Hughes Electronics are “articles” as defined in REACH Article 3(3). There is no intended release of substances from the products sold by Hughes Electronics, under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use, therefore the requirement in REACH Article 7 (1)(b) to register substances contained in articles and intended to be released under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use does not apply.

Chemicals used in the components or the manufacturing of components sold by Hughes Electronics are used at the discretion of the manufacturer and the relevant requirements of the REACH Regulation remain the responsibility of the manufacturer.

If you have any questions concerning this statement, please contact your Hughes Electronics Sales Representative.

Directive 2002/95/EC   Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)

Hughes electronics manufactures a wide range of products; a large number of sub-assemblies and components are purchased from other manufacturers. Hughes Electronics goes to great lengths to make sure all of our products meet applicable legal requirements when they ship, and we continually monitor changes in those requirements. We have surveyed our products, and to the best of our knowledge, Hughes Electronics is in compliance with all applicable national and international laws and regulations, including those that may restrict the materials used in the content of certain products. Of course, Hughes Electronics assumes no liability for changing regulatory requirements after a product is dispatched.

Hughes Electronics also has a comprehensive management program in place to ensure our products conform to the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS).


Hughes Electronics' RoHS compliance approach includes the following elements and requirements:

  1. For products designated by Hughes Electronics to be RoHS compliant, Hughes Electronics specifies and designs the product to use materials and parts that conform to the RoHS directive.
  2. All Hughes Electronics suppliers of RoHS compliant products must provide Hughes Electronics with a declaration that the particular products supplied meet the RoHS directive.
  3. Hughes Electronics follows a detailed product qualification process for all products, which includes materials and specification reviews and audits of manufacturing lines.
