Energy Saving bulbs help the environment in more ways that one.
Because Ecobulb® energy saving bulbs last longer than standard bulbs and other energy saving bulbs, they eliminate bulbs that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Less energy consumed means the green house gas emissions released by coal fired plants and unrecoverable mercury is not released to the atmosphere.
Conserving energy reduces the need for new power generation facilities to be built and also reduces the impact this can have on the environment.
Ecobulb® energy savers have been developed to contain the lowest possible mercury amalgam- less than 1.5mg per bulb for our standard bulbs. Amalgam is similar to the material dentists use in fillings- however it would take 50 Ecobulb® light bulbs to supply enough amalgam for one filling! The amalgam can be recycled and reused.
Many local authorities in NZ already provide recycling facilities for CFLs: check your local council website for details. Otherwise, Interwaste (www.interwaste.co.nz) recycle CFLs for a small cost.
Our packaging is 100% recycled and recyclable. |
