March 18, 2009, 10:32 AM — D-Link has instituted a program to which all of its Green solutions must comply before being labeled D-Link Green. In order to qualify, products must adhere to requirements such as compliance with standard, internationally accepted green initiatives (such as WEEE, RoHS, and ENERGY STAR) and usage of D-Link's eco-friendly sustainable packaging (such as sleeveless design and soy ink).
Under this, D-Link also now offers a complete line of Green Technology solutions, including switches, Wi-Fi routers, network attached storage (NAS), Internet-enabled digital photo frames and, coming soon, new D-Link Green Powerline network adapters
"Identifying products as D-Link Green is not arbitrary but is instead a process in which products must comply with the program's specific product requirements and initiatives before qualifying," said Jayesh Kotak, VP -- Product Management, D-Link India, also adding that the company would continue to build innovative green technology into these and other product lines as part of its commitment to becoming more energy-efficient without sacrificing performance. D-Link also says that it supports local programs for the recycling, reuse and reclamation of consumer goods, including products and packaging.
