Are the Eco-friendly Computers for Real?
In the age where eco-friendliness is in the air, computers are doing their part as well to apply that branding thought to make them attractive to the target market. Some claim that certain computers are energy efficient, made of recyclable materials or perhaps come in eco-packaging. But sum it all up and you see a computer that is still the same as the normal ones we see in the market.
This is not to generalize. Going eco-friendly is quite broad and for all you know, packaging computers in eco-friendly cardboards can already put them in the category of eco-friendliness. In business, they are wise. Adding that tag to entice customer attention is not as complicated or costly. Marketing is all about playing with the minds and attracting customers.
In short, eco-friendly businesses do not really go green completely. Remember that cost is something that they are petrified and shifting to such will include conversions and further adjustments to adhere towards green standards.
There will be of course eco-friendly agencies to certify these computer manufacturers. Some have likened it to being ISO certified. But perhaps one thing we should take note of would be the category to which green certification is given. Unless the details are given to the consumers as well, there is no basis to determine how green their product truly is.
I still have my doubts on eco-friendly areas for concern. Apparently all we need to do is to be better acquainted with green standards and certification.
