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 computers.

The labeling scheme is developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The
