Electronic waste is becoming the world’s fastest-growing trash stream. 70% of hazardous landfill waste is electronic waste. Older mobile computers and tablets are not often eco-friendly or sustainable. Typically, only 20% of electronics are properly recycled. Often, many eco-friendly products don’t last long enough to generate a strong ROI or can be costly to maintain.
At Zebra, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives are a priority. Zebra is committed to helping the environment with the creation of sustainable products, from creation through recycling. The ET4x series tablets, MC33xx series mobile computers, and TC5x series mobile computers are created with eco-friendly attributes and sustainable packaging.
This selection of green tablets and mobile computers have maximized life cycles to help lower consumption of devices, accessories, and batteries. Save money and increase your green score with the environmental attributes of these tablets and mobile computers. Zebra also offers unique programs that help manage environmental sustainability.
