Acer Vero 514: Acer's Eco-conscious and Powerful Chromebook
As the earth shows signs of global warming and climate change, eco-conscious consumers are looking for ways to reduce their impact on our precious planet. One way to do this is by intentionally purchasing items made with recycled materials. But is this possible when buying electronics? The Acer design team has worked hard to produce Aspire Vero, a range of recyclable green PCs made with 30% less CO2 emissions. This forms part of Acer’s overall commitment to reduce carbon emissions, which have dropped from 30% to 21% this year. Alongside this, Acer is actively reducing e-waste by lowering the amount of printed circuit board material used in the Acer Vero range, preventing over 30 tons of waste from ending up in landfills.
