Sharp Has World’s Only Eco-LCD TV
Sharp is the world’s only LCD-TV to be awarded the EU Eco-Label, a labeling system designed to teach consumers about how green the products they are consider purchasing really are.
In order for a tv set to receive the label, they must achieve the following criteria:
- Consumption on standby below 1 watt
- Low electricity consumption when in use
- Recommendations for correct environmentally-conscious usage
- Designed for higher durability and materials with better recycling ability
- Availability of electronic replacement parts for at least seven years after the end of production
Sharp has been very aggressive — and very successful — on the eco-electronics front. Over 40 of their products have been awarded the Eco-Label.
