Marking of plastic casings and front panels
Marking of plastic parts facilitate recycling, since the recycling companies can sort the different plastic parts after type of material in a more efficient manner. Through the advanced requirement level, you will make stricter requirements on plastic marking for computer tablets and all-in-one computers.

Life cycle analyses show that the most significant environmental impact from computers and monitors occurs in the production phase. The most important measure for reducing environmental impact from use of computers and monitors is to use the products for long periods of time. To reduce the environmental impact, in particular during the usage phase, you can set high requirements on the energy performance of the product.
The sustainability criteria for computers and monitors contain requirements for energy efficiency, hazardous substances, extended product lifetime, and product recyclability. These categories reflect the most important environmental issues during the life cycle of the products.
