Environmental Impact
A company, no matter how large or small, cannot function without keeping in mind the impact its products and services have on the environment and communities that sustain their business.
AOC stands as a seasoned corporation that understands the importance of creating products that fit into the digital lifestyles of today’s consumers, but does so by creating packaging out of recyclable material and engineering products that consume less power than ever before. Today’s advances in technology allow for the manufacturing of incredibly powerful, crystal clear and thin displays that consume only a fraction of the power their much bulkier and fuzzier counterparts once consumed.
AOC is leading the way in developing environmentally friendly product materials, while still keeping its promise to consumers that products baring the AOC brand will be of the highest quality in both performance and design.
“Advances in display technology should not be setbacks for our environment. We take great pride in offering Energy Star certified products and launching new technologies, such as our ultra-thin WLED displays, that offer improved performance, while requiring fewer materials for development and less energy for use.”
EPEAT
The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) is a system based on IEEE 1680 - 2006 (starting January 2019, IEEE 1680.1-2018) the environmental performance standard to evaluate how "green" the electronic products are.
Recognizing the environmental impacts of tech manufacturing has become increasingly important, both purchasers and manufacturers are seeking standard environmental rules to define “green” products. EPEAT meets the needs of both parties. With its standardized criteria, purchasers can compare products and manufacturers can learn how to reduce the manufacturing environmental impact by improving the design of their products.
The products with the EPEAT logo are considered to have met the strict standards for reduced environmental impact during manufacturing. Under The Federal Acquisition Regulations, all Federal agencies must purchase at least 95% EPEAT-registered products in all relevant electronic product categories.

AOC Green Packing
Every AOC monitor is manufactured to meet the most stringent green standards; in addition, the packaging of AOC monitors is also developed with those same standards in mind. One such standard is the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive.

About Packaging and Packing Waste Directive In 1994
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (Directive 94/62/EC) was inacted. According to the Directive, packaging material should meet the standard of minimum weight and volume to ensure safety and customer acceptance including concentration levels of lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and mercury which are not exceeded limits in packaging or packaging components. Any material used for containing, protecting, handling, delivery and presentation of any type of goods is considered as packaging material.
An amendment to the directive was introduced in 2004, adding new requirements for packaging waste reuse (a minimum of 60% of packaging waste must be recovered for further use) and energy recycling (55%~80% of all packaging waste must be recycled).
