The document discusses environmentally friendly laptops and provides a comparison of several laptop models. It summarizes the methodology used to evaluate Lenovo, Toshiba, Dell, Asus, and HCL laptops based on their power consumption, material area, weight, technology features, and ergonomics. Lenovo received the highest overall score based on these criteria. The document also provides tips for more sustainable computer usage, such as using sleep mode and extending the lifetime of laptops.

4. Reasons of powerCut
• Current theft.
• Telugana issue shortage of supply of coal.
• Powerlenders are charging more / unit.
• Increased industries and infrastructure
develeopement.
• Previous Government faulty governence .
• Lack of efficient usage of
current in ethical way.

5. Laptops -is your’s G-One or RA-One
• Laptops are made of many Toxic materials like
Dioxins,Polychlorinated Biphenyls(PCBS) ,Cadmium ,Chromium
,Radioactive Isotapes ,Mercury and Lead.
• If Not treated properly they are sources of Toxin and
carcinogen , releases materials such as lead, mercury, or
cadmium into the soil, groundwater, and atmosphere, thus
having a negative impact on the environment.
• According to Greenpeace, some brominated flame
retardants (BFRs), used in circuit boards and plastic casings,
do not break down easily and build up in the environment.
Long-term exposure can lead to impaired learning and
memory functions.

6. • Circuit boards contain considerable quantities of lead-tin solders that
are more likely to leach into groundwater or create air pollution due
to incineration. The processing-like incineration and acid treatments-
required to reclaim these precious substances may release, generate,
or synthesize toxic byproducts. They can also interfere with thyroid and
oestrogen hormone systems and exposure in the womb has been
linked to behavioural problems.
• PVC is a plastic used in some electronics products and for insulation on
wires and cables. Chlorinated dioxins and furans are released when
PVC is produced or disposed of by incineration. These chemicals are
highly persistent in the environment and many are toxic even in very
low concentrations.
• Companies may find it cost-effective in the short term to sell outdated
computers to less developed countries with Tax regulations. It is
commonly believed that a majority of surplus laptops are routed
to developing nations as "dumping grounds for e-waste”.
• Climate Change caused by dumbing or recycling process
• If treated properly laptops are valubale sources for secondary
raw material.

7. Green Model Certifications
• Energy Star
• Blue Angel
• Energy Saving Trust
• EU Ecolabel
• TCO
• EPEAT Label

8. Energy Star or EPA
• A Program launched by Envoironment Protection Agencies
in 1992
• ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy
helping us all save money and protect the environment
through energy efficient products and practices.
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants
caused by the inefficient use of energy;
• Make it easy for consumers to identify and purchase
energy-efficient products that offer savings on energy bills
without sacrificing performance, features, and comfort.
• The TCO and EPEAT labels below use the Energy Star
energy consumption criteria.

9. Energy Saving Trust
• A UK government energy efficiency program,
an Energy Saving Trust Recommended desktop
computer will use around 40% less energy in a
year than an average new computer.
• Carbon Foot Print Measuring and rating.

10. EU Ecolabel
• The criteria cover the life cycle of the product
from manufacture to disposal and include
energy use, limits on the use of hazardous
materials and recyclability of the product.

11. EPEAT Label
• EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment
Tool) is managed and operated by the Green
Electronics Council, a US NGO. The label covers criteria
for design, production, energy and materials use and
recycling with ongoing independent verification of
manufacturer claims after registration. EPEAT evaluates
electronic products in relation to 51 total
environmental criteria, 23 required criteria and 28
optional criteria. Products are then ranked by EPEAT
according to three tiers of environmental performance
– Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

12. TCO
• TCO is a widely respected international eco-label
developed by a Swedish trade union. It is a voluntary
scheme which is third party verified. It uses Energy Star
criteria for energy consumption, and a wide range of
specific criteria for different products including limits
on toxic chemicals and design for recycling. The TCO
certification system also requires that the brand owner
actively promotes social responsibility
• TCO Certified goes beyond green by combining
features such as high performance and ergonomic
design with one of the toughest environmental
requirements on the market.

28. WAY TO CONTROL THESE ISSUE
• Customer Point of Angle
– ( What is the need / Is it really Essential / What about the
Older One)
• Manufacturing Point of Angle
– ( What is the Cause and Effects in using this energy/ how
to reimburse it / Environmental Policies/ Avoiding BFR &
PVC / Using Recyclable Materials for production / Take
back policy / refurbishing / Supply Chain Management/
Worker comfort and 48 hour weekly work policy )
• Government and other Welfare Association
– ( Trade Policy / Amendments / Strict Laws / Enforcement /
Awareness Camp / Rewarding / honoring Outstanding
Manufacturer / Reviewing New alternate Technology )

29. Tips for better usage of Computers
And laptops
Tips for effectiv e usage and Env .docx

30. BEST WAY TO USE IS !
• Deploy stand-by mode. Computers can be configured to go into sleep, standby, or
hibernate mode if left unused after a period of time. EPA recommends having
them go into such a mode after 30 to 60 minutes of inactivity, though setting it for
a shorter period of time saves even more energy. Using the sleep or hibernate
mode can cut an average computer's power consumption by half, the agency
estimates. Keep in mind hibernation is not the same as running a screen-saver,
which does not, contrary to popular belief, save any energy. EnergyStar offers a
free program called EZ Wizard that walks you through the process of setting up
power-management features in Microsoft Windows XP. Power-saving software is
available for the Macintosh as well, through the Power Save Mac software.
• Extend laptop lifetime. Does your current laptop do everything you need? If so,
consider holding onto it for a while longer. These days, even models five or six
years old can execute almost all currently offered software. Getting more life out
of your laptop not only saves you money but makes more efficient use of the
materials that have already been deployed. If you do get a new laptop, and your
old model still works, consider donating it to a non-profit, such as Computers with
Causes, which refurbishes computers for educational institutions. Or donate to
someone else in need of a computer.
