Clock Radio

Finding ways to care for the environment involves creative and savvy thinking. Using bamboo in the clock's top plate is an eco-friendly step that also adds style to the product. Not only is bamboo an attractive material, it is also known to be more sustainable and renewable than trees. Growing quickly without fertilisers or pesticides, a bamboo plant can be harvested in three to five years, and each plant harvested multiple times. In addition, the preparation of bamboo for use in industry results in fewer pollutants and lower carbon dioxide emissions.

Taking a stand to be environmentally responsible, Philips has always made serious efforts to recycle. The benefits of recycling are staggering. It reduces the need for fresh non-renewable resources and takes away the strain from our already waning planet. It lowers the need for incinerations and landfills, which have very harmful effects on ecosystems and the environment. This clock is made from a high percentage of recycled materials. The entire casing is made of 100% recycled plastic, the paper printings are 100% from recycled paper and the packaging is produced with 90% content from recycled materials.

Restricting the use of hazardous components marks Philips desire to create a safer living environment for the human race. On top of being fully compliant with RoHS directive, which restricts the use of commonly used dangerous chemicals like lead, cadmium and mercury. We have also further restricted the use of other hazardous components, for instance, PVC and BFR compounds are free from any plastic parts, circuit board, power adaptors and packaging, thus, minimising the impact on humans and our environment during use and disposal.
