The main problem, as far as computers and other electronicsequipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substancesare used both in the products and during the manufacturing. Since it hasnot been possible for the majority of electronics equipment to be recycledin a satisfactory way, most of these potentially damaging substancessooner or later enter Nature.There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energyconsumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both thework (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methodsof conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on theenvironment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactivewaste, etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in officesconsume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left runningcontinuously.What does labelling involve?This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 scheme whichprovides for international and environmental labelling of personalLCD1810.PM5 98.7.27, 2:36 AM7
