Umweltzeichen Blauer Engel für Computer, Tastaturen und Computermäuse

Summary

This German government report details the revision of the 'Blue Angel' ecolabel criteria for computers, keyboards, and mice. The core challenge addressed is the environmental impact of these devices throughout their lifecycle, aiming to promote products with enhanced durability, reparability, and reduced ecological footprint. The updated criteria, published in July 2024, now include stricter requirements for materials, energy consumption, spare parts availability and pricing, extended warranties, and social standards in production. This initiative encourages manufacturers to design more sustainable digital hardware.
