green criteria

 

Our aim is to get you the best products out there. These products are not only good computing products, they're good environmental citizens as well. Everything we sell meets our selective environmentally friendly criteria. This is what we mean.

Made with Recycled/Sustainable Materials

What better way to keep waste out of the waste stream than by reusing it to make something new? It's eco-friendly, and it's a smart use of resources. Many of the products we sell are made with recycled plastics or other environmentally friendly materials.

Easy to Recycle

When products reach the end of their useful life, it makes sense to recycle rather than let them sit and rot. There are many valuable materials inside old equipment. Through the use of selective materials, clear labeling, and simple disassembly, these products make that process easier and more efficient.

Energy Efficient

One of the biggest environmental issues of our time is energy use. Being more energy efficient is a win-win for the environment and the consumer. Using less energy means there's less depletion of natural resources and less pollution and greenhouse gases emitted. Energy efficiency also means saving money. The more you save the less you'll spend.

Fewer Toxic Materials

While safe to use while in the computer, toxic chemicals in computer components can be harmful when they end up in our waste stream. They can adversely affect the health of people handling them and can affect everyone else when released into our air and water. By purchasing equipment with fewer toxic chemicals, you can help keep them out of the waste stream in the first place.

Eco-Friendly Packaging

Great products come in great packages. Many of the products we sell aren't just great in themselves, they also come in thoughtful packaging. Whether through design or choice of materials, these packages are as eco-friendly as the products they contain. It all adds up, and every little bit makes a difference.

Independently Certified

Our products are eco-friendly. But don't just take our word for it. Most of the products we sell carry seals of approval from well-known and trusted national and international organizations. For more information on these eco-labels, see our eco-label page.
