HVAC-R Suppliers and Wholesalers: Supplier's Pledge
Supplier's Pledge
We pledge to work with IDEM, the Thermostat Recycling Corporation, and our customers to keep mercury out of the environment in order to protect the quality of Indiana's air, land and water. We understand that the properties of mercury that make it a useful component in thermostats - high conductivity and liquidity at room temperature - can also harm the environment.
Our company is committed to protecting the environment. Therefore, we, the undersigned Indiana heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration supplier, have established these goals to minimize the impact of mercury thermostats on the environment and encourage our customers to conduct sound environmental practices.
Pledge
To achieve these goals, we pledge to participate in the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's Mercury Thermostat Reduction and Recycling Program. As a participant in this program we will:
- Educate our customers on the hazards of mercury and encourage their participation in this program,
- Serve as a drop-off recycling site for all unusable or unwanted mercury-containing thermostats removed by our customers,
- Ensure that mercury-containing thermostats are returned to the Thermostat Recycling Corporation according to our agreement with them, and
- Reduce the use of mercury-containing thermostats by stocking digital or mercury-free thermostats and encouraging our customers to purchase them.
