Panasonic for the Environmental Friendly

Panasonic's Toughbook line just became even more appealing to those who are conscientious of the environment. The current line of Panasonic Toughbook's are EPEAT certified. What does this mean exactly?

EPEAT evaluates electronic products in relation to 51 total environmental criteria -– 23 required criteria and 28 optional criteria. To qualify for registration as an EPEAT product, the product must conform to all the required criteria. Products are also ranked in EPEAT according to three tiers of environmental performance - Bronze, Silver, and Gold. All registered products must meet the required criteria, and achieve Bronze status. The Panasonic Toughbook's have a silver EPEAT rating meaning that they meet all 23 required criteria plus at least 50% of the optional criteria.

Here is a list of the Panasonic Toughbook's that have the silver EPEAT rating:

• Toughbook 19

• Toughbook 74
• Toughbook W5
