Environmentally Sustainable UV LED

Our Mission

At Phoseon, we are fully committed to the wellbeing of the environment.  We continuously work to reduce the environmental impact of the products that we manufacture. Phoseon LED solutions offer consistent and reliable power output, eliminate greenhouse gases, and remove mercury from an entire category of industrial processes.  Phoseon started the LED revolution for UV curing in 2002 and its products have collectively saved millions of pounds of CO2 emissions since inception.  Allow us to contribute to your corporate sustainability objectives TODAY!

Are LEDs Sustainable?

Phoseon is committed to the well-being of the environment, and continuously work to reduce the environmental impact of the products that we manufacture. LED is the only sustainable choice for UV curing.

• No mercury! Mercury ban in manufacturing processes is growing globally.
• No greenhouse gases, ozone, produced or needed to be evacuated from facility.
• Significantly reduced energy usage versus mercury UV and high energy IR dryers.

Phoseon Technology pioneered the use of LED technology for UV light curing in industrial applications, offering equipment manufacturers a high performance curing technology that also saves significant energy and related greenhouse gases and eliminates dangerous mercury and ozone from the UV curing process.  These UV LED products offer significant environmental improvements to the incumbent mercury-based products.

Energy Savings

With traditional UV curing processes, the tremendous heat associated with mercury UV lamps require a significant amount of electricity to operate. Phoseon UV LED technologies provide energy savings of between 75 and 85 percent compared to prior drying systems. With Phoseon lamps, there is no need for fume extraction units to remove the gases generated by mercury-vapor UV lamps. UV LED is not only good for the environment, but also has a very positive effect on the finances, sustainability, health, and safety of company operations.

A leading North American manufacturer of premium prime label solutions sought to reduce their carbon footprint and become more energy efficient in their processes. By working with Titan Energy to plan energy efficiency upgrades, they found opportunities to improve the sustainability of their printing company, reduce printing costs, and reduce energy usage.

Pollution Prevention

UV LED lamps generate no ozone and offer the promise of eliminating toxic mercury in an entire category of industrial processes. With UV LED lamps, there is no need for fume extraction units to remove the harmful gases and Ozone generated by mercury-vapor UV lamps.

Waste Reduction

UV LED lamps offer better than 50% lower CO₂ emissions. Studies have shown that in certain applications, replacing mercury lamps with UV LED lamps can lead to 20 tons of CO₂ reduction per product annually.

By upgrading to LED, Eticod in Poland experienced 60% energy savings on their 10 station flexographic press, which corresponds to an annual saving of approximately 84,000 kWh, eliminating 200 tons of CO₂.

Conventional mercury lamps need to be replaced every 1000-2,500 hours.  Upgrading to UV LED technology eliminates these replacement costs offering significant environmental benefits with the elimination of mercury.

Recycling at Phoseon

Why Recycle Internally?

Phoseon Technology considers recycling an important aspect of responsible stewardship to our environment. A comprehensive recycling program is in effect at Phoseon, providing recycling opportunities for materials and scrap left behind from reliability engineering and manufacturing processes.

What is Recycled? Most of the recyclable material is electronics waste and scrap, as well as other materials including:

• Power Supplies
• PCBAs
• Aluminum
• Steel
• Brass
• Copper
• Wiring
