Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO'99 approved and labelled
product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your
purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the
further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.
Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?
In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established
method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main
problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that
environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their
manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of
electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter
nature.
There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy
consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and
natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a
negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions,
radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often
left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.
What does labelling involve?
This product meets the requirements for the TCO'99 scheme which
provides for international and environmental labelling of personal computers. The
labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of
Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature
Conservation) and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration).
Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment,
ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and
electrical and fire safety.
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 manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in
each country where the company implements its operational policy.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or
display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a
lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be
reasonable for the user.
Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for
example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual
ergonomics and good usability.
Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental
requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be

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.
The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing
more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or
chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes
are available.
Cadmium**
Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the
colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system
and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the
colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components
must not contain any cadmium.
Mercury**
Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO'99 requirement
states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also demands that mercury is not
present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled
unit.
CFCs (freons)
The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs
may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are
sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby
damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of
ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a
consequence.
Lead**
Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and
capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning.
The relevant TCO´99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has
yet been developed.
_____________________________
* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which
accumulate within living organisms
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which
are Bio-accumulative. |

- Most disassembly can be done by hand or with the aid of a standard
6-millimeter (1/4-inch) nut driver only
Rapid technological advances lead to a high turnover in computer
products, as customers upgrade or replace their systems at an ever-increasing rate. To
address the mounting problem regarding the indiscriminate disposal of unwanted products,
and in anticipation of future legislation, Dell has instituted a disposal program for the
collection and disposal of these products.
Dell's take back program is a free material return and disposal
service for Dell customers, covering computer products sold by Dell under the
environmental label plans. The returned products are reused, recycled, or disposed of as
appropriate, in accordance with local environmental guidelines.
 NOTE: The program is designed to dispose of unwanted or unusable
products under the environmental label plans. For returned material discounts on recent
purchases, or for recycling of equipment neither sold by Dell nor covered by the
environmental label plans, contact your local Dell Asset Management specialist.
In carrying out this program, Dell's general responsibilities
include the following:
- Organizing the reuse/recycling/disposal of the equipment
- Ensuring that all disposal/recycling practices meet local
environmental regulations
- Monitoring the process to ensure compliance and facilitate process
improvement
How the Take Back Program Works
When you have one or more items of equipment that you would like to
dispose of, contact your local Dell customer service department to request instructions.
The returns coordinator processes the request and advises you on the return of your
material. Refer to "Take Back Collection Sites" found later in this document for
the telephone number and collection point in your area.
NOTE: "Shells" (equipment from which integral components, such
as chips and power supplies, have been removed) are not accepted as part of this free
program. If a shell is discovered in your shipment, you will be asked to either collect
the system or pay for its disposal.
The equipment is transported to Dell's take back partner, where it
is assessed and disposed of as follows:
- If judged resellable, the Dell label is removed and the equipment is
tested, repaired, and resold.
- If judged beyond repair, the equipment is dismantled, and usable
parts are offered for sale.
Unusable parts are disposed of as follows:
- Metal cases are sold to metals recyclers.
- Printed circuit boards and cases are sent to refiners.
- Plastic parts are sent to plastic recyclers.
- Unusable packaging is sent to paper recyclers.
Monitors are sent to recycling companies to be disposed of as
follows:
- The tubes are washed and the luminescent powder is recovered, some
elements are extracted for reuse, and the remainder is disposed of via controlled
incineration.
- Glass is sorted and sent to the lead smelter or recylced for glass
works.
- The planar mask and the iron are sent for reuse to metals recyclers.
- Items that are not reusable are mainly incinerated. However, if
certain residues on the items are not allowed in hazardous waste incinerators, the Dell
take back partner transports the items to a secured (bundled) hazardous waste landfill.
Dell commits to retaining stocks of spare parts (or
reasonable alternatives) for a period of five years from the termination of production of
the Dell system component–for example, the base system, the keyboard, or the monitor.
As part of Dell’s policy to reduce the
impact on the environment of obsolete item disposal and in compliance with guidelines in
many geographical locations, all Dell documentation supplied with Dell equipment is
printed on paper (fresh fiber from sustainable resources or recycled waste paper) bleached
without the use of chlorine.
The table lists the country specific customer service telephone
number along with the address for the take back collection site. For Germany, the take
back collection site telephone number is listed rather than the customer service number.
NOTE: Locations marked with an asterisk (*) are facilities approved for
battery disposal. As Dell expands the network of take back centers, additional addresses
will be available across Europe. Contact your local Dell customer service department for
information about the availability of take back services in your location.
