In the past years, the global focus on sustainability has grown exponentially. More and more people and organizations are noticing the limited resources of our world. It has also become clear that continuing to drain these resources without replacing them is a bad idea for the future.
In computing that uses large amounts of plastics and other polymers, it has become imperative to focus on making products sustainable and carbon neutral and as recyclable as possible. Today, the vast majority of computer accessories are still made from plastic with high energy consumption and no way for subsequent recycling. On the other hand, companies like Razer are working to promote sustainability in the field and offer more low-emission products made from recycled materials.
Razer manufactures computers and computer accessories, and in recent years the company has placed a greater emphasis on sustainability with a portfolio of products that meet high standards in terms of carbon neutrality, sustainability and environmental impact. She also started a 10-year plan under the hashtag GoGreenWithRazer# It seeks to make its products and buildings more environmentally friendly, and will develop a sustainable business environment that focuses on youth, millennials, and Generation Z, and will play an important role by supporting and investing in environmental and sustainability startups.
Green Razer products include 4 different devices that fall into the business and gaming categories. The products include both the Pro Click Mouse and the Pro Type V2 Ultra keyboard in action. The DeathAdder Essential and Basilisk V3 gaming mouse are both UL Global Sustainability Standard 1 certified; sustainable products. They will be announced as the first two products in their category to receive the Ecologo Type I certification in 2022-6-5. As the DeathAdder Essential and Basilisk V3 are the world’s first eco-friendly mice, Razer will encourage game makers to consider reducing the environmental impact of their products through responsible production. Razer will offset the carbon emissions of these products with environmental initiatives.
Razer’s sustainability endeavors include core links such as managing materials in the supply chain, using sustainable materials and avoiding hazardous materials while adhering to energy requirements, end-of-life management and the use of eco-friendly packaging. The company also seeks to expand its list of environmentally friendly products and achieve lower consumption of energy and resources during the manufacture and use of these products. As Razer strives for its products to comply with the third standard of the international company UL standards, which proves that this product is environmentally friendly without any damage during the manufacturing and use process. It is also expected that these products will be announced at the current Razer Conference 2022 – RazerCon’22.
