1 Clean Product Design CEC: Workshop on Environmentally Sound Management, Toronto, Ontario June 12, 2013 Presented by Shelagh Kerr, EPSC

2 Electronics Product Stewardship Canada Members

3 Implementing Clean Product Design Eliminating and reducing environmentallysensitive materials Reducing or eliminating waste Meeting or exceeding environmental standards Reducing energy consumption Improving logistics and packaging to minimize transportation impacts Maximizing the use of recovered materials and energy

4 Industry incorporating ESM in each step of a product s life cycle

5 Sourcing Raw Materials Reducing or Eliminating Environmentally Sensitive Materials Using Environmentally Preferable Materials Post-consumer Renewable Bio-based

6 Apple products are free from lead, brominated flame retardants, polyvinyl chloride, mercury and arsenic

7 In 2010, Philips launched the PVC and BFRfree Econova television

8 Sony has developed PVC and BFR-free mobile phones, tablets, video cameras and Sony Vaio PCs

9 HP launched a PVC-free printer, the HP Envy 100 E-All-in-One

10 New Dell personal computing products are free from three types of phthalates Dell notebooks now use LED illumination, which eliminates the need for mercury

11 Lenovo uses postconsumer recycled content across all PC product categories, including in all ThinkPad Edge notebooks and ThinkVision monitors

12 Panasonic has developed an environmentallypreferable bamboo fibre speaker

13 Canon uses plantderived bio-based plastics in multifunction office systems for production printing

14 Manufacturing Minimize Scrap and Waste Materials Internal closed-loop processes for recycling Minimize Emissions Factory heating and cooling Efficient equipment Dematerialization and Light-weighting

15 HP s Planet Partners program is a closed loop system that has produced more than 1.5 billion original ink cartridges using content from cartridges returned for recycling

16 Apple s Mac Mini uses 68% less plastic than the previous generation and has a recyclable aluminum enclosure

17 Lexmark uses postconsumer recycled (PCR) plastics in the manufacture of certain new toner cartridges

18 Distribution Innovation to reduce and recycle packaging Environmentally-preferable Packaging Post-consumer recycled materials Biodegradable materials (biobased plastics, bamboo)

19 Dell is using compostable mushroom and bamboo packaging

20 Cisco saved enough water to fill 312 Olympic-sized swimming pools, electricity to light 5,079 homes for one year, and reduced CO2 emissions comparable to removing 4,960 cars from the road for one year just by reducing printed paper materials in packaging from 2008 through to the beginning of 2010

21 IBM has eliminated the use of roughly 300 metric tons of corrugated fibreboard and wood annually by redesigning packaging for their system storage devices

22 Energy Efficiency Product Use Automatic sensors More efficient technologies Resource Conservation Double-sided printing More efficient ink cartridges

23 Panasonic s current plasma TVs consume roughly 50% less power than their predecessor models from 2009

24 HP has over 1,000 patents in energy efficiency

25 Dell s Energy Smart Products and Solutions include Dell Poweredge servers, designed to consume up to 26% less energy than previous generations

26 Samsung has introduced a solar-powered netbook, the NP-NC215S

27 End-of-Life and Reuse Extending Product Life Span Repair and remanufacturing programs Design for disassembly Microsoft Authorized Retailer program Improving Environmental Standards EPEAT design standards Energy Star RoHS Directive EPSC Electronics Recycling Standard

28 Microsoft s Authorized Reseller program allows computers to be reused more effectively by allowing refurbishers to install new operating systems

29 ENERGY STAR: international standard that identifies and promotes energy efficient products Example: Energy Star TVs can be up to 40% more energy efficient than standard models

30 EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool): comprehensive criteria that helps consumers identify environmentally responsible electronics Personal computers, notebooks, monitors, printers In 2011, Canadian sales of EPEAT products reached more than 5.3 million units

31 RoHS Directive Restricts the use of six hazardous materials in the manufacture of electronic products

32 All processors participating in provincial programs must meet the Electronics Recycling Standard Created by EPSC members to define the requirements for safe and responsible handling Canada is a world leader in creating and applying a standard
