ClickShare reinforces its commitment to climate action with carbon-neutral certification for the Video Bar range

The ClickShare Video Bar range sets a new industry standard by proudly earning the carbon-neutral label from climate advisory organization, CO2logic—a South Pole company.

The ClickShare Video Bar range sets a new industry standard as the first carbon-neutral video bar solution in the wireless conferencing market by proudly earning the carbon-neutral label from climate advisory organization, CO2logic—a South Pole company. This milestone comes one year after receiving the same label for the ClickShare Conference CX-50 2nd gen.

These achievements reinforce our efforts and spur us forward as we work tirelessly to reduce the carbon emissions of our products. By making the right choices, from design to disposal, we have slashed the carbon emissions across the lifecycle of the ClickShare Video Bars to a minimum.

How did the ClickShare Bars achieve carbon neutrality?

We reduced carbon emissions by focusing on three key areas:

Materials. We use at least 35% recycled plastics in manufacturing. Our cardboard packaging contains 86% recycled materials and is 98% recyclable, and it´s reused as much as possible throughout the entire supply chain to minimize waste.
Energy efficiency. The ClickShare Bars save double the energy required by the toughest (The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) legislation when in standby mode and are 30% more energy efficient in BYOD (Bring Your Own Meeting) mode compared to competitor products (according to in-house measurements).
Lifecycle. ClickShare’s Trade-in Program provides a sustainable solution for customers to replace their older hardware which is recycled in an environmentally-conscious way.

After reducing the carbon emissions of the ClickShare Bars to the minimum, the remaining 239.21 kg of CO2 emitted during their 5-year lifecycle are offset through the Huadu Afforestation Project.

This project preserves the biodiversity of the Guinzhou province in South China by protecting the area´s thriving forests and, at the same time, creates educational and economic opportunities for the community.
