Recently, Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. launched a new green microsite, View the website to find out what else they are doing.
As stated on Sheldon's new microsite, Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. is a RoHS compliant company. This means that they do not use restricted chemicals in their products, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl, or Polybrominated diphenyl. RoHS compliance for laboratory equipment is a bit of a gray area because they may be used as medical devices, and many manufacturers have claimed to be exempt based on this. "While we were going through the lengthy RoHS compliance effort for our ovens, incubators, and constant temperature equipment, we grew to understand why this compliance needs to happen, and that exemption wasn't the path for us." says Mr. Sheldon.
Headquartered in a small town outside of Portland, Oregon, Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. has benefited from a close-knit community and they return the favor by being a good corporate citizen. This means participating in service projects and support efforts with local clean water and habitat restoration efforts such as SOLV and Clean Water Services. Recently, the company helped plant saplings along the Tualatin River. The trees will help to shade out the grass species that are over crowding the wetlands.
