A systematic and structured approach to environmental management incorporates and implements ecodesign process into existing Green Collaboration System of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) phases, which are purchasing raw material, manufacturing, transportation, use, and EoL (End-of-Life). The mechanism effectively decreases environmental impacts throughout the entire life cycle of a product.

Six steps have been taken into serious consideration, which are:

As a result of the environmentally conscious design process for the Zyxel’s Model: VMG8324 (Wireless N VDSL2 VoIP Combo WAN Gigabit IAD), three factors designed to reduce environmental impacts have been evaluated and improved. These are as follows:

A wireless on/off function design, leading to estimated energy savings of up to 0.9 MWh/year, corresponding to a 500 tCO2/year reduction in emissions.

LED indicator on/off function design, saving an estimated 131.4 KWh/year, corresponding to a 70 kgCO2/year reduction in emissions.

Shortened external power cables, reducing waste disposal by an estimated 360 kg/year and lowering the cost of manufacturing as much as USD $962/year.

ISO 14006 Ecodesign process for Zyxel is a crucial element of our integrated product policy. Our policy takes a preventive approach designed to optimize the environmental performance of products while maintaining and continuing product quality, which will provide new opportunities for Zyxel and the supply chain as a whole.
