Congratulations!

You have just purchased a 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. 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 their manufacture.

Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of

electronics equipment, 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 electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment

(e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is

vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left

running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does labeling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme, which

provides for international and environmental labeling of personal
