Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO’95 or TCO’99 approved and labeled product! Your choice has
provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed
to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of
environmentally adapted electronics products.
Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?
In many countries, environmental labeling has become an established method for encouraging
the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. With the growing manufacture and
usage of electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the
materials and substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling
and disposal. By proper selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the
environment can be minimized.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are
important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments.
Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary
consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint
of carbon emissions alone, it is vital to save energy.
What does labeling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 or TCO’99 scheme which provides for
international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was
developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional
Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation)
and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration)
