The development of environmentally friendly PCs

The global objective today is "to develop toward the sustainable society." This will be done by balancing the global environment and human activities. Our PC business is deployed based on the two pillars of the global and life environments and factors that affect these environments are to be monitored throughout their lifecycles. This paper is intended to introduce our measures including those aimed at compliance with the European RoHS Directive. Also covered are measures that target hazardous substances such as efforts for the use of halogen-free and phosphor-free plastics, those for the use of bioplastics to prepare for the depletion of oil resources, those for noise reduction using the water-cooling technology and those for dealing with VOCs (Volatile organic Compounds).
