The new approach to making the halogen-free electric junction boxes provided several important benefits to Schneider-Electric: Eco-friendly at competitive price: The non-halogenated solution has a density 0.4 g/cm3 less than a traditional halogenated material, and this density advantage makes it price competitive with the traditional solution. Thanks to more environmentally conscious products, Schneider-Electric also expects to increase market share by as much as 20 percent – translating into a potential revenue increase of as much as $225,000.
