Japan PC Green Label

Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association(JEITA) has proposed an Eco-Mark for personal computers. Dell has been one of the original members of this program since 2001, and has successfully registered selected OptiPlex, Precisions and Latitude models.

To apply the PC green label Dell had to pass the standards examination for personal computers and displays.

The "PC green label" indicates a PC maker's overall efforts and activities to ensure that the computer is environmentally conscious on the following aspects: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (3R).

The label concept consists of the following three elements:

Environmentally conscious product design and manufacturing
PC take back, reuse, recycling and proper disposal after end of use
Environmental information disclosure
