The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence
and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame
retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other
things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the

operational policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or

Environmental requirements
Flame retardants
Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires,
casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay
the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can
consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain
bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically
related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the
flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are
suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including
reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the
bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in
human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus
development may occur.
