Our footprint is one that breathes

At Rich & Mich we care about the environment and endeavour to design our products in such a way as to lessen the environmental impact they have.

We use recyclable materials for packaging and components where practical to do so, and by making our products firmware upgradeable, we give them a longer lease on life.

We also stand by the warranty on our products and support them with friendly technical support to ensure our customers can utilise their Rich & Mich product for at least the full term of the warranty period.

We also comply with the legal requirements with regards to RoHS*, CE* and WEEE*.

Every step of the way in product design, manufacturing and distribution we strive to lessen our environmental impact and make sure our footprint is one that breathes.
