Acer is getting greener, at least according to Greenpeace.
The computer maker unveiled two new notebooks on Friday that have already received kudos from the international environmental group. The Acer Aspire 3811TZ and Aspire 3811TZG are designed to be energy efficient, recyclable, and biodegradable, thereby winning high marks from Greenpeace, which rates PCs and other electronics for their environmental friendliness.
As part of its green initiatives, Acer said it built the two new Aspires to be free of PVCs (polyvinyl chloride) and BFRs (brominated flame retardants).

So far, the Electronics Manufacturers Recycling Management Company (MRM) has collected more than 3 million pounds of old-fangled televisions being discarded in the national transition from analog to digital formats.
The figure was released this week by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which has been running a National TV Recycling Challenge to help divert at least some analog TVs from improper/irresponsible disposal fates. MRM was the winner of the challenge, which has so far recycled close to 8.2 million pounds of materials. The materials were collected between January and August. MRM is a joint venture of electronics giants Panasonic, Sharp and Toshiba.
