Easy Recycle and Disassemble Designs

The function of packaging is to protect products during transport and delivery, and prevent damage due to impact. Striving to reduce the use of packaging and its environmental impact, Acer set up a special taskforce in 2003. The taskforce reviewed the packaging of four notebook models, and worked towards reducing the use of materials and establishing labeling standards for packaging material.

Currently Acer's packaging materials adhere to the following principles:
• Minimize packaging
• Use recyclable and reusable packaging materials, such as paper and PE
• Avoid excessive usage of polystyrene as shock-absorbing materials
• Use other shock-absorbing materials instead of polystyrene
• Limit use of packaging materials containing hazardous substances
• Include material labels such as plastics or paper to facilitate separation and recycling
