Building On A Heritage Of Environmental Achievements

Our parent company, CommScope, has a long standing history in developing and executing successful environmental and recycling initiatives. In 1988, CommScope launched its own ReelSmart® recycling program for its broadband cable reels. Today, they recycle more than 66,000 reels per year, saving approximately 20,000 trees annually. In honor of these achievements, CommScope has twice won the Governors Award of Excellence in the large business waste reduction category.

CommScope has also been an active and long-time participant in environmental efforts. It joined more than 200 U.S. companies in pledging to rationalize energy consumption and waste as part of the 1992 Energy Policy Act. The company also began voluntarily reporting greenhouse gas emissions in 2002 as part of the Global Climate Change Initiative.
