What does green mean? Green can describe a company's products as well as its corporate practices. Tripp Lite SmartOnline Single-Phase UPS systems are considered green because they save energy through high-efficiency operation. They also provide end-users with two levels of efficient operation to choose from. Tripp Lite's corporate practices are green as well. All Tripp Lite products are RoHS compliant, which means that they adhere to strict standards in the reduction of hazardous substances, including lead and mercury. Tripp Lite also uses recyclable, CFC-free packaging designed to minimize waste and offers easy battery replacement options to extend the useful lifespan of its UPS systems. Lead acid batteries are recycled at a higher rate than any other consumer product — more than 97%, compared to 55% of aluminum cans and 45% of newspapers (Source: Battery Council International).
