It’s no easy task to make immensely accurate measuring equipment that must withstand extreme temperatures out of sustainable materials or methods – but it’s one we at Ellab have taken upon ourselves, nonetheless.
There’s an unwritten rule within Ellab: if we can’t provide the same or better quality or value, we don’t do it. So, our roughly 50 developers and engineers are constantly working to create products that are not only sustainable but of equal or greater quality than before.
Building Sustainability Into Development
We strive to create products that the Ellab team can be proud of. By developing equipment that is sustainable, this is achievable. It is great to see our engineers and developers motivated by this and actively participating in our efforts to find alternative materials and production methods.
The goal to create equipment that is not only accurate and reliable, but also has a reduced environmental impact, is a challenge. However, we at Ellab are ready for that test and have started to develop more eco-friendly materials and means of production into our products.
The production process of creating products is undergoing a change. We’re actively working on reducing the use of aluminum in our validation products – to ultimately reduce the amount of metal waste. This change will preserve critical resources for future generations.
We’re committed to recycling. Our belief is that our hardware should be easy to disassemble and recycle – a factor prioritized during R&D (Research & Development). When disassembling products, we can recycle most of the materials.
