Acer Aspire Vero: beautiful, powerful and designed with minimal environmental impact in mind

The Aspire Vero range consists of two versions Strive Vero AV15-51. The first integrates the processor Intel Core i7-1195G7 Quad-core 2.90GHz with Intel Iris Xe graphics and 16GB DDRA SDRAM.

The processor was chosen for the second Intercore i5-1155G7 4 cores @ 2.50GHz, also with Iris Xe graphics and 8GB DDR4 SDRAM.

In other words, we are talking about two top-notch teams ready to provide a modern and smooth multitasking user experience.

The i7 model also provides extra power for users who use very demanding programs and offer the best experience of playing video games or creating content.

But, aside from their impact on the table as high-end hardware, what makes the Acer Aspire Vero a great piece of engineering is how they combine that performance with your materials D Eco+ systemdesigned to optimize energy consumption.

PCR plastic is the key to reducing CO2 emissions

PCR plastic It is one that is made from plastic waste generated in homes, factories, shops or any other industrial activity. In other words, it is directly related to the circular economy.

In the case of the Acer Aspire Vero, the case is 30% PCR1 plastic. The brand’s own data shows what it means more than significant CO2 savings of 21%.

In particular, PCR plastic is used on the top and bottom covers, the screen frame and even on 50% of the keys on the Acer Aspires.

Something that is reflected in a curious design detail: on the R and E keys, the letters are printed in a mirror, recalling the message “Reduce, reuse, recycle.”

Aspire Vero received the seal EPEAT® Silver5 is awarded by the Global Electronics Council to products that use PCR, are environmentally friendly and reduce waste in landfills.

Another pillar of sustainability is reduce energy consumption and, for that, the Acer Aspire Vero Acer Eco+ Technology Suite.

Eco+ computers automatically balance power savings and performance, so the system reduces power consumption when performing less resource-intensive tasks, conserving battery power.

Ease of repair and no body painting

When considering the design of the eco-friendly laptop, Acer also considered it important avoid overproduction and mass generation of waste, while extending the life of the product.

The Aspire Vero is designed to be easily disassembled and has approved screws built into it, making it easy to repair, upgrade equipment and even end-of-life disposal.

Another important detail: no body paint usedwhich avoids the negative impact of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), hydrocarbons, which are very easily released into the atmosphere and are used in the production of paints and varnishes.

And curiosity: the truth is that without painting the laptop looks very nice, and each block is slightly different from the others … and therefore unique.

Packaging as part of a sustainable whole

And the last detail that should not be overlooked: The Acer Aspire Vero packaging is 100% recyclable.. Although part of the cardboard box is designed to be reused as a laptop stand, with just a few bends, all parts can be recycled.

In addition, the carton of the box is 85% composed of recycled paperThe plastic of the laptop bag and the foil covering the keyboard are 100% recycled, and the typical plastic bag covering the charger has been replaced with a paper one.

A sign that environmentally friendly design must take into account all the details of the final product.

oak forest

Acer Aspire Vero it is a declaration of intent, a sign that IT companies can develop their products with more sustainable criteria. But the real change goes further.

Born with this conviction maple forest. An initiative involving a user who purchased an Acer Aspire Vero in reforestation project in which Acer is partnering with tree housea pioneering platform that allows any citizen to remotely plant a tree and follow its history.

Initially, the Acer forest consists of 900 trees planted in Ecuador, Cameroon, Colombia, Tanzania, Madagascar and Kenya. This action will already absorb more than 236 tons of CO2 directly, but its impact will be much further.

Acer Forest trees are planted in agroforestry systems, that is, together with seasonal crops and shrubs. So they become part of balanced ecosystemand will have a positive impact on social aspects: Acer Forest was born in Developing countrieshelping to create direct employment through tree rangers and indirect employment in related positions in sectors such as transportation.

all in global action with significant environmental impact: Reforestation absorbs CO2, protects biodiversity, prevents desertification and creates an economic fabric.

How to take an active part in Acer Forest

But how else, Acer connected maple forest With Acer Aspire Vero. And, besides, also with users who bought the device.

Acer Aspire Vero customers receive a code that they can redeem on the Treedom website. From that moment on, they become godparents new tree.

The first step is to choose a landing site among the different locations in Acer Forest. After that, the godfather will have access to the Treedom technology platform to follow the whole process: the tree will germinate in the nursery, and then it will be planted in the place chosen by the godfather, which will have individual coordinates of its tree and photographic access to their development throughout life.

A true commitment to sustainability must be integrated into the values ​​of the company and become the basis of its strategy.
