applicable requirements from the list of
33 environmental performance criteria.
There are also up to 26 additional optional
criteria, which determine a product’s rating
of Bronze, Silver or Gold.

solutions that reduce their costs and
environmental footprint. Kodak Alaris is
delighted its entire range has achieved
Silver status and is proactively working on
meeting the additional optional criteria to
earn Gold status.
