The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be
used during the manufacturing of the product or its packaging.
TCO'99-Ecological requirements for personal computers (TCO applied
model only)
Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO'99 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.
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which
provides for an international environmental and quality labelling labelling of
personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort
by the TCO(The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees),
Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen(The Swedish Society for Nature
Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet(The Swedish National Energy
Administration) and SEMKO AB.
The requirements cover a wide range of issuse: environment, ergonomics,
usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption
and electrical safety.
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 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.
