The Acer Aspire 3811TZ and Aspire 3811TZG laptop models are made without the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs), both of which pose considerable risks to humans and the environment.
Taiwanese computer maker Acer unveiled two new laptops that have earned the company some praise from Greenpeace, even while the company falls short of its environmental goals. According to Greenpeace, PVC pollutes throughout its production, use and disposal, and is "the single most environmentally damaging of all plastics, and can form dioxin, a known carcinogen, when burned." BFRs, similarly, are persistent toxic substances that accumulate in humans and animals pose health risks.
