Product Environmental Profile - PEP

Use

The products of the Power-saving Personal Surge Protectors do not generate environmental pollution (noise, emissions) requiring special precautionary measures in standard use.

The electrical power consumption depends on the conditions under which the product is implemented and used. The electrical power consumed by the products was measured by APC using approved IEC methods and according to the EPA usage model for personal surge protectors. The electrical power consumed by the Green Personal Surge Protectors range is between:

End of life

At end of life, the products in the Power-saving Personal Surge Protector range have been optimized to decrease the amount of waste and allow recovery of the product components and materials.

This product range contains an external power cord and electronic boards that should be separated from the stream of waste so as to optimize end-of-life processing by special treatments. The location of these components and other recommendations are given in the End of Life Instruction document which is available for this product range.

The recyclability potential of the products has been evaluated using the “ECO’DEEE recyclability and recoverability calculation method” (version V1, 20 Sep. 2008 presented to the French Agency for Environment and Energy Management: ADEME).

According to this method, the potential recyclability ratio is: 29%.

As described in the recyclability calculation method this ratio includes only metals and plastics which have proven industrial recycling processes

Environmental impacts

Life cycle assessment has been performed on the following life cycle phases: Materials and Manufacturing (M), Distribution (D), Installation (I) Use (U), and End of life (E).

Modeling hypothesis and method:

-the calculation was performed on the P8VNTG Green Personal Surge Protectors

-product packaging: is included

-installation components: no special components included.

-scenario for the Use phase: this product range is included in the category 1: Energy passing product Assumed service life is 5 years

Use scenario is: annual electricity consumption = 32.2 kWh per year.

The electrical power model used for calculation is the average European model. This equipment do not require any special maintenance operations

-End of life impacts are based on a worst case transport distance to the recycling plant (1000km)

Life cycle assessment has been performed with the EIME software (Environmental Impact and Management Explorer), version 4, and with its database version 11.0.

The Manufacturing phase is the life cycle phase which has the greatest impact on the majority of environmental indicators.

According to this environmental analysis, proportionality rules may be used to evaluate the impacts of other products of this range: Depending on the impact analysis, the impact on the Raw Material Depletion and the Water Eutrophication of other products in this family may be proportional extrapolated by the mass of the products. The impacts on the other indicators are proportional to the electricity consumption.
