Examples of such initiatives include an LED lighting retrofit, which is estimated to save over 775 MWh, a solar photovoltaics project, and the installation of low-flow fixtures.
Renewable Energy Use
The Singapore facility that manufactures the Agilent 6495D and 6475 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS systems uses its own onsite renewable energy in the form of photovoltaics.
Responsible Chemical Management
The Agilent Singapore facility that manufactures the Agilent 6495D and 6475 Triple Quadrupole LC/MS systems has implemented policies and procedures to understand, manage, and communicate hazardous chemistries throughout the value chain. Suppliers must ensure their raw materials comply with the Agilent General Specification for the Environment, which screens for hazardous chemistries such as EU REACH SVHCs and Proposition 65 chemicals. Furthermore, the 6495D and 6475 systems are EU RoHS compliant, and the Singapore manufacturing facility is ISO 14001 certified.
Shipping Impact
The Agilent 6495D and 6475 triple quadrupole LC/MS systems are produced in Singapore. The US market is serviced via the Agilent distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee, and the EU/UK market is serviced via the Agilent distribution center in Ketsch, Germany.
Product Content
The Agilent 6495D and 6475 triple quadrupole LC/MS systems do not currently contain any sources of sustainable content.
Packaging Content
The Agilent 6495D and 6475 triple quadrupole LC/MS systems are packaged and shipped using corrugated cardboard cartons and a polyethylene bag. The cardboard components contain 55% recycled content, resulting in over 50% sustainable content in the overall packaging system.
Energy Consumption
The Agilent 6475 and 6495D triple quadrupole LC/MS systems energy use represents the energy consumed while operating the equipment for eight hours, and the energy draw associated with the standby mode for the remaining 16 hours in a 24-hour period.
Water Consumption
The Agilent 6495D product family does not consume water during use phase.
Lifetime Rating
While the Agilent Value Promise guarantees that the Agilent 6495D and 6475 triple quadrupole LC/MS systems will last at least 10 years during their use phase, these products have an estimated lifetime of 15-20 years based on previous models of the products.
Packaging End-of-Life
The Agilent 6495D and 6475 triple quadrupole LC/MS systems are packaged using cardboard and a polyethylene bag. In the US, the cardboard is readily recyclable. While the plastic bag is recyclable, the infrastructure is not available in the majority of the market. In the US, Agilent is enrolled in the to facilitate the communication of material recycling instructions. In select countries, Agilent participates in the EU/UK Green DOT Package Recycling Program to support the take-back and responsible management of packaging materials at their end-of-life. In the remaining EU countries, the cardboard is readily recyclable, while the plastic bag is recycled, landfilled, or incinerated depending on the country and available infrastructure.
Product End-of-Life
Agilent offers a take-back program for the 6495D and 6475 triple quadrupole LC/MS systems for customers in US, EU, and UK markets.
