iameco v.3
the first computer to win the EU Eco Flower certification
The iameco V3 touch screen computer's carbon footprint is 70% less than the average PC. Less than 360 kilograms CO2eq is produced over the full product life cycle. Almost all of the materials used in the computer are recyclable, including the wooden frame. Hazardous materials typically used in a computer manufacturing process have been reduced to a minimum for iameco and replaced with environmentally friendly alternatives. Conventional lighting has been replaced with LED lighting, which is 30-40pc more energy efficient, and the energy required to cool the PC is cut down by switching out the traditional fans for copper tubing and heat sinks.
