A Green PC refers to a computer designed with environmental sustainability in mind, and it’s often identified by its EPEAT® Registration.
EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) is a global ecolabel that certifies electronics, including PCs, based on strict environmental criteria across the product’s entire lifecycle, such as:
-
Energy efficiency, ensuring minimal power consumption and alignment with ENERGY STAR standards
-
Minimization of harmful substances, reducing the use of toxic chemicals in manufacturing
-
Sustainable material sourcing, incorporating recycled or eco-friendly materials
-
Durability and design for recyclability, promoting longer product life and easier recycling at the end of use
-
Environmental practices of the manufacturer, demonstrating commitment to corporate sustainability
An EPEAT® Registered device —ranked Bronze, Silver, or Gold— ensures compliance with recognized green standards, making it a trusted indicator of eco-friendly computing.
