Environmental commitment

Synetech does not source minerals directly from the Democratic Republic of Congo, neighboring countries and high-conflict and high-risk areas. Thus, cooperation with suppliers is essential to comply with Synetech's responsible mineral sourcing policy. Synetech informs its suppliers of the following mineral sourcing expectations:

Transparency in the sourcing of tantalum, tin, wolfram and gold in all products they supply to Synetech and that they take measures to extract the above minerals in a responsible manner.

Implement and maintain a responsible minerals sourcing policy aligned with Synetech's policy and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Minerals Supply Chains in high-conflict and high-risk areas.

Extend these requirements to your suppliers.

Provide, on a regular basis, information to Synetech on the correct compliance with the responsible mineral sourcing policy.

If a Synetech supplier is unwilling to accept Synetech's responsible mineral sourcing policy, Synetech may seek alternative sourcing to ensure compliance with its sustainable policy.

Synetech takes all necessary actions to verify that the materials used in the manufacturing process of its products do not come from high-conflict and high-risk areas.

The LER code (European List of Waste) is a waste classification system used in the European Union. Its main purpose is to categorise and manage waste efficiently and safely, facilitating recycling, recovery and disposal in accordance with environmental regulations. Each type of waste is assigned a six-digit code.

This coding system has its origin in European regulations governing waste management, specifically Commission Decision 2000/532/EC, which establishes the list of wastes under Council Directive 75/442/EEC on waste and Council Directive 91/689/EEC on hazardous waste.

The LER code is mandatory for all entities managing waste in the European Union. Companies, municipalities and other organizations must classify their waste according to this list before treatment or disposal. This classification helps to ensure that hazardous waste is identified and handled properly, and that recyclable materials are separated and reused whenever possible.

Interactive displays contain no cells, batteries or hazardous components, so they are non-hazardous waste. Their LER code is 160214-42.

LED displays are registered under LER code 160214-23.

In order to ensure proper compliance with our recycling policy, we work with waste management suppliers. As long as the supplier meets the established governmental criteria, we will consider them for the recycling operation, without favoring a single supplier.

After the end of life of our interactive displays, the supplier will arrange for their removal and transfer to an authorized warehouse for subsequent movement, by authorized waste transporters, to a material treatment area that is suitable and safe for electronic waste and ensures that the treatment of the materials is carried out in accordance with European environmental, health and safety regulations.

With regard to the batteries of the remote control included with the purchase of the interactive display, Synetech undertakes to dispose of them in a suitable container designed to handle batteries safely.

The product recycling and removal service is completely free of charge.

To monitor compliance with our recycling policy in collaboration with our supplier, we have established an automatic identification document for each collection, which certifies the correct transfer with the authorized waste transporter, indicating the origin, who transports it and the destination plant.

In addition, our waste management provider will send us a monthly Waste Treatment Certificate. The document reflects the transparent activity generated between our supplier and Synetech.

Waste from businesses and private individuals is accepted.
