Being a consumer in an advanced economy, or in an economy thesis, it is a challenge, it cannot be kept up to date with the growing range of ingredients and materials in store products. For example, thousands of new chemicals are recorded annually. Even so, many more compounds that could be harmful are introduced and used in manufacturing. These chemicals can damage our health and the environment. However, many tools to interrogate our world and the products we buy are emerging, offering information on the impact of health and environment of our lifestyles. In this best sustainability episode in his ear, he knows Stephen Fuller, Senior Development criteria manager, a worldwide recognized certification organization sustainable practices for technological products based in Stockholm, Sweden. With approximately 350,000 chemicals in use today and only a small fraction of those subjected to risk assessment, TCO has developed dissemination of chemicals used in information technology products. In 2015, the organization introduced an accepted list of substances, a catalog of safer alternative chemicals examined by organizations such as Greenscreen and Chemforward. TCO expects to lead the manufacturers of semiconductors, computer, telephone and television to adopt materials that meet the rigorous standards of environmental and social responsibility.
IT buyers in a market -based economy need valid and transparent information sources to make informed purchase decisions. However, complexity either, And constantly evolving technologies used in technological products make themselves aware of what is safe for humans and nature is a constant challenge. The development of TCO, the green screen and chemistry have built a collaboration that helps business IT buyers to exercise their desire to use alternatives to toxic chemicals, and those ideas are filtering the buyers of consumption electronics. Stephen explains that the development of TCO is still working to make the list of accepted substances a standard for appliances such as televisions, toaster or microwave so that everyone can join the call to the safest electronics. Once the TCO Product Passport has become a widely accepted tool to understand the chemicals in our technologies, buyers, not the producers, will be empowered to track the chemicals to which they are exposed and advocate: through their MEMFUL and LASTY -VARCENCE -LeAST -QASTASTE -SHE -SHASTNASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSES -SHEETNSE You can get more information about the development of TCO and the list of substances accepted in https://tcocermed.com/
