April 28, 2020
Today’s consumers are highly aware of how their choices are impacting the world around them so for any brand it is important to be environmentally complaint.
Consumers are demanding more environmentally friendly products and governments are pushing hard for stricter environmental regulations. Sharing their product insights, Ninestar said “that for its G&G cartridges it conducts supplier audits adhering to a number of international standards and our in-house policies, ensuring they deliver qualified raw materials. In the process of turning raw materials into finished products, hazardous substance control precautions have been strictly taken. Its lab also conducts random quality inspection for each batch of G&G products before shipment.”
Ninestar explained: “We submit our products regularly to world’s leading third-party Inspection Company, SGS. Our tested G&G products are verified by SGS that they all comply with Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS), REACH Regulation, and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).”
Higher standards are coming, the Green Deal, part of the EU agenda for Europe, maps out Europe’s strategy to becoming the first climate-neutral continent, by proposing several measures to reduce the continent’s greenhouse gas emissions and increasing biodiversity.
Effective 1 March 2020, Russia introduced stricter controls on a large number of product groups including telecommunications equipment and computers, printers and consumables and similar devices. These regulations mirror EU directives.
