The Vero laptop brand will continue being part of Acer and its commitment to carbon neutrality, the computer brand said today.

Acer said today the Aspire Vero 16 leads the effort in this, with the laptop having its carbon footprint considered at every step of the laptop’s development cycle.

“To help tackle the increasing challenges posed by climate change, on the product side, Acer is proposing ‘conscious technology’ designed and made with consideration for the future,” said  Jerry Kao, COO, Acer Inc. “On the corporate side, Acer has joined the RE100 initiative and  committed to achieving 100% renewable electricity by 2035. We have also pledged to achieve  net-zero emissions by 2050.”

Here are some of the ways the Acer Vero lineup commits to reducing its carbon footprint:

• Color, Material and Finish: The chassis is made from a blend of more than 60% recycled  plastic (vs. 30% in the first generation), and its surface contains no volatile organic  compounds, paint, or additives. The touchpad uses ocean-bound plastic5on the surface.
• Components: Features the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra processors which are more power  efficient than previous generations. Intel AI Boost, the new integrated neural processing  unit (NPU) delivers new AI-powered capabilities with extreme power efficiency.
• Packaging: Steps are taken to reduce the carbon footprint by recycling the scrap  material generated during production and using 100% recyclable packaging. Thoughtful  designs allow the 100% recycled FSC-certified paper box to be easily repurposed.
• Shipping: Acer has partnered with logistics providers to reduce standard sea containers’ emissions thanks to biofuel on various routes.
• Usage: AcerSense™ battery management software focuses on energy efficiency with four  performance modes: Eco+, Eco, Balanced and Performance.
• Recycling and Repair: For quick and easy disassembling to repair, upgrade or recycle,  standard screws are used.
