MOSHI’S GREEN STATEMENT


Moshi is committed to environmental stewardship.  We are aware there is only one earth and it is our responsibility to proactively adopt measures to mitigate environmental impacts.  This principle is reflected through our product design which focuses not only on aesthetics, but also on durability and reusability.  Whenever possible, we use recycled and/or naturally bio-degradable materials for packaging and boxing.  In manufacturing of our products, we adhere strictly to California's Proposition 65 and RoHS standards which are enacted to eliminate the use of hazardous substances during production.


WHAT IS PROPOSITION 65?


In 1986, California voters approved an initiative to address their growing concerns about exposure to toxic chemicals. That initiative became the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known by its original name of Proposition 65. The Proposition was intended by its authors to protect California citizens and the State's drinking water sources from chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and to inform citizens about exposures to such chemicals The chemical list contains a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals that are known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. These chemicals include additives or ingredients in pesticides, common household products, food, drugs, dyes, or solvents. Listed chemicals may also be used in manufacturing. The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program. OEHHA, which is part of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA), also evaluates all currently available scientific information on substances considered for placement on the Proposition 65 list.


WHAT IS RoHS?


The RoHS Directive stands for " the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment ". This directive, adopted in February 2003, bans placing new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury(Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants in the European market. All of our products involve coordinated efforts with our supply chain of components, devices, materials and packaging to ensure RoHS compliance and reduce any other environmental impacts.
