Electronics impact many of our daily home and work lives but Panasonic is dedicated to not impacting the environment. Being conscious of how retired laptops are disposed of can help minimize their negative effect on the environment.

We are all looking for ways to support our manufactures that are making an effort to go green. Panasonic recently teamed up with Maine and Minnesota and collected over one million pounds of retired electronic for proper disposal. What a great impact that is going to have on those states and our world.

We have seen time and time again laptops thrown out after one to two years in the field. The effect this can have on our environment is huge. Panasonic Toughbooks will give field workers an efficient productivity tool and with a longer life expectancy which means less impact on the environment.

In addition, Toughbooks computers have other factors that make them improved and safer for the environment. Batteries that have longer life spans and require fewer charges make Toughbooks hands above the rest. Having a reliable battery life in the field eliminates the loss valuable time and money due to battery failure.

Not only does Panasonic make environmentally-friendly computers, but its employees are environmentally-conscious. As they work diligently to produce amazing rugged laptops for consumers, they are also working in an accredited Clean Factory. This means that 98% of the waste generated is recyclable.

There are companies who need to leave their computers on at night.
