SwedenTCOIntroduces Screen MonitorTCO Cutting EdgeVerification
The TCO certification standards developed by the Swedish TCO organization recently launched the TCO Certified Edge Display 1.0 certification standard for screen displays. This certification is designed for products that comply with existing TCO screen display specifications, aiming to select the most environmentally friendly electronic products on the market. In the future, the TCO organization will also develop its own TCO Certified Edge standards for other product categories.
In addition to requiring products to comply with screen display specifications, TCO Certified Edge Display 1.0 also requires that products contain at least 65% recycled plastic.
If a monitor that has obtained TCO Displays 5.0 certification obtains TCO Certified Edge certification, its certificate category will be "TCO Certified Edge", and the TCO specifications it complies with will list "TCO Displays 5.0" and "TCO Certified Edge".
TCO Certified Edge requires computer screens applying for this certification to contain at least 65% recycled plastic. This requirement is also expected to help the electronics industry reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 860,000 tons after five years of implementation.
Plastic recycled from discarded plastic bottles, food containers, computers, and other products is called post-consumer plastic. The difference between post-industrial material and recycled plastic is that recycled plastic originates from products that have completed their product lifecycle. Furthermore, because recycled plastic contains a variety of different plastic materials, it is more difficult to process than post-industrial material.
