Right here at VIAVI, we hate waste, we love effectivity and we’re intelligent individuals. It appears like we’re blowing our personal trumpets right here, however these are three values that assist us to suppose and be extra sustainable day-after-day and assist our prospects save worthwhile vitality. So, let’s take a look at simply one among our merchandise and discover how we save roughly 56x the carbon footprint of VIAVI yearly, by decreasing our prospects’ vitality use.
VIAVI optical filters are utilized in gadgets similar to smartphones and have been manufactured to enhance world sensing. However how does that equate to vitality financial savings? On depth sensing, consistently firing out lasers for facial recognition and powering the sensors and processors to search for the proper face seems to be energy-consuming. In truth, face sensing by smartphones saves battery life by turning off a display that’s not being checked out and opening a display sooner than it could take to gentle a display and enter a handbook password. Our filters save 2 Watt-hours. That doesn’t sound like a lot nevertheless it all provides up for those who ship over 1 billion optical filters, as VIAVI has. That equates to a saving of roughly 1.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide yearly! Roughly 56x our personal carbon footprint! And that’s simply one among our merchandise. So subsequent time you see a company that stories they’re carbon-neutral, bear in mind how our revolutionary design and manufacturing course of has resulted in a really significant carbon footprint discount!
And that’s not all. Sustainability is pushed by broad innovation and taking a look at issues otherwise is a crucial a part of doing that. We examine each a part of what we do and attempt to make it higher for our planet. For instance, we examined one specific delivery course of to see if we might enhance it. Our producer of filters in Shenzhou ships the wafers to a manufacturing facility in one other province. As a substitute of utilizing the standard plastic packaging, we manufactured customized steel frames that maintain the wafers and get them safely to their vacation spot. The manufacturing facility sends the empty frames again and they’re reused for the following batch of wafers. Our inventive manufacturing processes allow us to get revolutionary with ‘small issues’ like delivery packaging to not simply make one thing that’s recyclable, however reusable as an alternative.
Variations like this will have a big influence on our world. There are dozens extra examples of modifications that VIAVI has made to make a distinction simply by eager about issues in one other method. Massive variations are made up of many small modifications and we’re passionately dedicated to proceed our innovation path to sustainability.
Earth Day is on 22nd April 2022 and is a chance for each companies and people to behave (boldly), innovate (broadly), and implement (equitably). Take into consideration how one can get entangled and #InvestInOurPlanet.
