First Alert has begun its efforts to phase out the use of PVC plastics in its packaging, in favour of a more environmentally-friendly, recyclable PET plastic.
The new style PET clam packs allow the company's entire range of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to be displayed in clear, tamper-resistant cases.
A new colour-coding system allows for instant distinction between alarm types: red for smoke detection, blue for carbon monoxide detection and purple for combination alarms.
In addition, the company has decreased the overall size of its alarm packaging.
