More about the Acer Aspire Vero – Green Laptop
More than just a stylish computer, the Acer Aspire Vero (AV15-51) is a tangible manifestation of Acer’s commitment to more sustainable operations. Its chassis is composed of 30% PCR plastic, cutting CO2 emissions by 21% [[1]] for the production of that part. The keycaps also contain 50% PCR plastic, and the Aspire Vero’s award-winning 100% recyclable packaging can be repurposed as a DIY laptop stand. From there, a thoughtful design helps to eliminate needless waste by making it easy to disassemble, repair, upgrade and recycle the computer or its components.
The green PC’s 99% recyclable 15.6-inch FHD IPS display is powered by 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, so users can count on world-class performance and productivity when they need it. When working on less demanding tasks, Acer’s new VeroSense™ software gives users the option of selecting a usage mode that has been optimized for energy efficiency and battery life. Features like Wi-Fi 6, a Type-C USB port and two Type-A USB ports make for a more reliable user experience, while Acer TrueHarmony™ and Acer PurifiedVoice™ with AI noise reduction allow for crystal-clear conference calls.

2nd Life for Your Old Device.
Something Acer UK recognises if the responsibility of what happens to the tech after customers are finished with them or upgrade to a new product as e-waste is at an all-time high in the UK up by 21% ( [ii])
Partnering up with Computers4Charity, customers can donate old, used, working or broken laptops or devices to be collected, safely data wiped and sent to someone who needs it.
The products are taken to a completely secure facility where each device will be given a second life through refurbishment, saving the planet from 30kg of CO2 emissions*.
Computers4Charity is a purely charitable non-profit company providing previously unemployed young people with jobs and training under the government’s “Kick Start” scheme and creating social value from the refurbishing process.
The devices are given to rehab facilities, young carers, homeless youth, hospices, charity volunteers, unemployed veterans and UK charities supporting schools in Africa.
