Environmentally Friendly Office
Whether laptop, multifunction printer or flat screen: The look of modern offices has changed dramatically in recent years. And thanks to modern information and communications technology you can do your work in almost every place and at almost every time.
This development inevitably goes hand in hand with new quality standards to be met by the appliances: They shall be high performing – but without negative impact on human health. People doing many hours of office work using the computer, printer and so on should be affected as little as possible. Therefore, an ergonomic design and the lowest possible harmful emissions are essential requirements for modern office work. Another aspect gaining more and more importance is environmental protection. Hard to imagine, but from raw materials production through use to final disposal computers, printers and other office equipment cause considerable environmental impact and – because of the often high power consumption - they also involve high costs.
Therefore, care should be taken when selecting proper office equipment. Here, the Blue Angel serves as an orientation aid. It is awarded to both high-performing and environmentally and health-friendly office equipment and can be found on numerous recycled paper products. In addition, the Blue Angel helps in finding high-quality low-pollutant and ergonomic office furniture. From desk and proper chair through computer and printer to copying paper: Those who pay attention to the eco-label when choosing their products err on the side of caution in matters of health and environmental protection – also with respect to quality and serviceability.
It is not for nothing that for thirty years the Blue Angel has been the label for effective environmental and health protection at the office that is inexpensive and builds confidence.
