What is Green Technology?

Green electronics, environmental technology, etc. The idea partially refers to the materials used in the manufacture of computers, cell phones, televisions, and dozens of other electrical devices. For example, the plastic we see in all these cable cords is often burned to reach the valuable copper inside, and dangerous chemicals are released into the air during the process. This can lead to acid rain development and further environmental damage. 

Electronics manufacturers are being asked to invest in environmentally friendly materials, although it is cheaper to use more toxic materials when building the devices.

Another key component of producing greener electronics is to reduce the amount of energy used and carbon emissions released throughout the production process, from the collection of materials to the shipping vessels used to transport them to shops. Consider what processes a smartphone goes through until it reaches your hands. Carbon emission and labor laws are different in every country, and an electronic product may have to be located in many different countries throughout the production and logistics process.

So what makes a device green electronics or green technology? These machines are designed to progressively minimize energy use and have less impact on the environment. This doesn't just mean they absorb less electricity than electrical outlets. Truly green electronics contain materials and use manufacturing processes that are less energy-intensive than traditional methods and even use renewable and natural materials whenever possible.

In order for an electronics to be green and environmentally friendly and to receive an eco label, it must meet the following criteria and pass various tests;

• Reducing or Eliminating Materials That Will Have a Negative Impact on the Environment
• Material Selection
• Design for End of Life
• Life Cycle Extension
• Energy-saving
• End of Life Management
• Corporate performance
• handling
