Congratulations! You have just
purchased a TCO'95 approved
and labelled 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 labelled computers?
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established
method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the
environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics
equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances
are used both in the products and during the manufacturing. Since it has
not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycled
in a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substances
sooner or later enter Nature.
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. Since all methods
of conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the
environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive
waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices
consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running
continuously.
What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme which
provides for international and environmental labelling of personal
