Your choice has provided you with a productdeveloped for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environmentand 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 ofgoods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipmentare concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during theirmanufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most ofthese potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important fromthe viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricitygeneration have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactivewaste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and therebyconsumes a lot of energy.file:///D|/EDFU/crt_19_5/edoc/swedish/109P/SAFETY/REGS/REGULAT.HTM (1 of 15)2005-04-21 ¤W¤È 11:08:26
