JAOtech is aware of the environmental impacts associated with manufacturing electrical equipment, and wholly supports industry and government initiatives to tackle the negative effects.  This includes restricting the use of hazardous materials such as lead and mercury, and promoting the proper collection, recycling, and recovery of electronic equipment at its end-of-life. Donating, reusing and recycling reduce waste from landfills and results in recovered materials being recycled in other products.

The cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) in JAOtech’s Smart Terminal™ liquid crystal displays (LCD) contain very small amounts of mercury to provide energy-efficient illumination. The amount of mercury in these lamps is minute and measured in milligrams.   

JAOtech’s Smart Terminals™ may contain other waste materials that can be hazardous if not disposed of properly. All products must be recycled or disposed of according to Local, State, or Federal Laws. For general information on electronic waste or to learn about how to safely dispose of or recycle a JAOtech product, check the resources below.
