Wipro introduces eco-friendly computers

Wipro Infotech, an arm of Wipro Ltd, today launched its eco-friendly range of desktops, claiming it was the first Indian company to do so.

The new range of products called Wipro GreenWare, which include desktops and laptops, is compliant with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, thereby reducing substantial e-waste.

“At present, eight products - five desktops and three notebooks - are 100 per cent RoHS-compliant. By year- end, we want to ensure that the entire product range of laptops and desktops is RoHS-compliant,” Ashutosh Vaidya, vice-president, Wipro Personal Computing, told reporters here.

Wipro has set up its e-waste management process called Wipro Green Computing, which spans across its product’s life cycle i.e. from designing and manufacturing to the final disposal.
