    EPEAT

    EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) is an environmental performance assessment tool which began in 2003 with a stakeholder process convened by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and has grown to become the leading global ecolabel for the IT sector. The EPEAT program provides independent verification of manufacturers’ claims and the EPEAT online registry lists sustainable products from a broader range of manufacturers than any comparable ecolabel.
     
    Manufacturers register products in EPEAT based on the devices’ ability to meet certain required and optional criteria that address the full product lifecycle, from design and production to energy use and recycling. Bronze-registered products meet all of the required criteria in their category. Silver-registered products meet all of the required criteria and at least 50% of the available optional points, while Gold-registered products meet all of the required criteria and at least 75% of the available optional points.
     
    The standard underlying the EPEAT system is IEEE 1680.1™ – 2018 Standard for Environmental and Social Responsibility Assessment of Computers and Displays. The standard criteria address the full product lifecycle, from design and production to energy use and recycling, and were developed through a balanced voluntary consensus process involving multiple stakeholders, including sustainability advocates, manufacturer representatives, purchasing professionals, academics, recycling providers, and policy representatives.
     
    Acer offers many EPEAT-registered products, which can be found by searching the EPEAT registry. In addition, Acer offers the following products and services for its EPEAT-registered products:
