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. 

 

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. 

 

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
