5 Ecological power use Eco DECT in the Gigaset AS180 / AS185
Eco DECT saves energy and makes an active contribution to environmental protection. Eco DECT addresses the following points: Switched-mode versus conventional power supply 1 The use of switched-mode power supplies (A) in the base station cuts consumption by up to 60% . compared to conventional power supply units (B).

4 3,5 Power consumption in W 3 2,1,B 0,Handset in base station Base station during calls A B A
Phone use averaging one hour per day results in a yearly savings of approximately 18 kWh.
2. The new Eco DECT function complements this adjustment: the transmission power of the handset and base station in idle mode are automatically reduced to zero if the handset is in the base station and only one handset has been registered. 3. customers select Eco Mode, they can also manually reduce the transmission power of the base If station and handset by 80%; in Eco Mode Plus the transmission power in standby can be reduced by 100%. Also, the handsets power consumption can be cut by 31%, thereby increasing talk time by 45%. However, this reduces the range to about half the distance.

4. many years, Gigaset DECT handsets have enabled the automatic adjustment of transmission For power depending on the distance to the base station. For example, transmission power is reduced by approximately 80% at a distance of up to five meters.

7 Material savings

1. Thin-wall technology Over the last few years, thin-wall technology has been successfully implemented in phone cases. During this time, wall thicknesses have been reduced from 2.5 mm to 2.3 mm and now average about 1.8 - 2 mm. This corresponds to a granulate savings of more than 20%, without sacrificing mechanical stability or robustness.
Granulate savings with thin-wall technology

2. Packaging Optimisation The size and weight of the packaging has been optimised to be in accordance with shipping standards. The primarily aims of this is to reduce transportation costs for the entire product portfolio. The basic purpose of primary packaging is to protect the product. Drop and continuous shock testing (simulating transportation) are required. We use LD-PE film to protect the surfaces of certain parts, as well as 100% recycled corrugated cardboard as packing material. Film usually accounts for around 4% of the total packaging. Both the film and cardboard can be recycled.

8 Manufacturing

1. Environmental requirements The Gigaset AS180 and AS185 are manufactured exclusively in Germany. Gigaset Communications attaches prime importance to compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Through its management system and environmental performance Gigaset Communications is able to meet these requirements and continues to improve. It goes without saying that Gigaset Communications also respects all local environmental requirements.
2 . Effects of automation The high degree of automation in Gigaset Communications production processes has a limited impact on the environment through energy saving and efficient machine utilization. For example, the electronic circuit board of these devices is produced solely on a production line with a cycle time under 6 seconds and an efficiency greater than 75%.
3. Manufacturing concepts Gigaset Communications believes in a short feedback path for testing. All process parameters are controlled cyclically so that any problems can be detected promptly (before they arise) and nonconformance is minimized. Every step in the value chain is checked separately to help identify potential errors at an early stage. Process controls and short feedback paths for testing therefore minimize material waste (components and process aids). Rejects are continuously monitored with the goal of achieving a rate of less than 1%.
4. Refuse disposal Packaging material and electronic scrap are strictly separated in environmental islands at Gigaset Communications production facilities and recycled by local service providers. To reduce volume, the individual materials are compacted by roller presses. The compaction ratio for cardboard boxes is, for example, 6:1. This enables more efficient transportation of around 800 tons of cardboard per year.

5. Work safety Gigaset Communications is especially committed to protecting the health and safety of its manufacturing employees. This is why Gigaset Communications takes such great care to protect its employees at their workplace. This includes steps such as responsible management, instruction, sensitization and process engineering, prevention of and planning for emergencies, systematic investigation into the causes of accidents, quick availability of medical aid, documentation, regular reporting and continuous improvement.

9 Transport packaging

All suppliers of packaging to Gigaset Communications GmbH are members of RESY (Organisation fr Wertstoff-Entsorgung GmbH). RESY, an organization for the disposal of valuable materials, was established in light of the German Packaging Ordinance. This ensures the return and recycling of paper and cardboard packaging used in transportation within Germany. Each user is given a four-digit ID that, along with the RESY symbol, must be printed clearly and visibly on paper and cardboard transport packaging. A ll secondary packaging has the RESY symbol on it to indicate that the specifications of the Packaging Ordinance for transport packaging have been met.

LD-PE film 4%

cardboard/paper 96%

10Distribution
W hen goods are shipped to the customer, they are consolidated regionally at the Siemens AG level and then distributed as part of the IDS network. As a result, the cargo space in each means of transport is optimized. T he Siemens Logistics Network (SLogN) is the basis for the efficient and secure movement of goods. The core of this transport network is a pool of highly qualified service providers who offer the best prices and performance thanks to the pooling of Siemens-wide needs. The use of transportation resources is being optimized by continuing improvements in the size of product packaging. The packaging units of our suppliers are optimized ahead of procurement to ensure the means of transport is fully loaded (e.g. containers in the case of sea freight). I n overseas logistics chains, we try to ensure that marine transport is used as frequently as possible. Transportation of goods by rail or inland waterway is preferred over trucks because it reduces emissions by 50%. Air freight for transporting goods internationally is the exception and out of principle shipment by sea has priority.

11Disposal

Our takeback concept I n accordance with European directives on the disposal of electrical waste and electronic equipment (2002/96/EC), packaging (94/62/EC) and batteries (2006/66/EC), these waste materials may not be thrown away as domestic refuse. The relevant national statutory regulations must be observed and the waste must be disposed of via the approved channels.

12Our service concept

In case of If a device should ever prove faulty, it is not replaced by a new one but repaired and returned free of defects to the customer. This concept has significant advantages. When devices are replaced by previously repaired products, the law requires that cosmetic parts, such as cradles, receiver insets or microphones, are also replaced. Our service concept eliminates this, which saves materials and resources.
