Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO’95 or 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. With the growing manufacture and

usage of electronic equipment throughout the world, there is a recognized concern for the

materials and substances used by electronic products with regards to their eventual recycling

and disposal. By proper selection of these materials and substances, the impact on the

environment can be minimized.

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.

Electronic equipment in offices is often left running continuously, resulting in unnecessary

consumption of large amounts of energy and additional power generation. From the standpoint

of carbon emissions alone, it is vital to save energy.

What does labeling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 or TCO’99 scheme which provides for

international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The labeling scheme was

developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional

Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation)

and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration)
