Our Efficiency, Waste and Recycling Innovations
 |
As part of the Smart Ideas® Program, Sysmex partnered with a group of companies along with Energy Investments and our local electric company, ComEd, to install more energy-efficient fluorescent lighting. This helped reduce total consumption of electricity by more than 250,000 kWatts. This is reflected in an average monthly savings of 27-30%. |
 |
Sysmex replaced "always on" light switches in bathrooms and break rooms with motion activated switches that automatically switch off when no one is in the room. Through awareness campaigns, associates reduce electricity consumption by turning off computers and lights at the end of each work day. |
 |
Current recycling efforts at Sysmex America result in about 2,400 lbs. of paper, cans and plastic that are recycled each month. This has been accomplished by placing recycle bins in associate cubicles and hallways. |
 |
Associates participate in recycling and conservation. Styrofoam cups have been replaced with paper cups in associate cafeterias and “Save a Cup Use a Mug” campaign encourages associates to bring their own coffee mug to work.
