Nichia's contribution to a realization of a mercury-free society
As of today, 24 February 2023, most types of fluorescent lamps will be banned from manufacturing and sales in Europe. Despite containing mercury, these lamps have been allowed to be manufactured and sold as exemptions from the RoHS Directive. However, these exemptions end today and will no longer be extended. Nichia has been working for many years towards a realization of a mercury-free society. In order to share these activities and accelerate the movement towards a mercury-free society, Nichia decided to prepare a "Blog" as a new platform to express how Nichia can contribute to a realization of a mercury-free society via its own products, including UV LEDs, Lighting LEDs and Laser Diodes. In today's first post, Nichia, as a manufacturer who closely witnessed the dynamic technological shift from fluorescent lamps to LED, introduces a strong desire for preservation of the "environment" along with the basic concept towards a realization of a mercury- free society.
In addition to a realization of mercury-free society, Nichia will explore different themes and continue to provide a variety of information via the Blog as an opportunity to learn more about Nichia
