Wipro Infotech, leading provider of IT and business transformation services, today unveiled its new "eco-friendly" and "toxin-free" desktops, manufactured with materials completely free of deadly chemicals like polyvinyl chloride and brominated flame retardants.
Based on the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Wipro Greenware range of desktops were free from carcinogenic materials such as PVC and BFRs, Anurag Behar, Chief Executive of Wipro Infrastructure Engineering Ecoeye, Social and Community Initiatives, told reporters here.
With the removal of the toxins, recycling of the electronic products would be safer, he said.
"Wipro considers the launch of PVC and BFR free products a major breakthrough in clean production and recycling policy. A very difficult process with no alternative solution, Wipro worked with 37 overseas suppliers for over two years to come out with the completely toxin free product," he said.
Anand Sankaran, senior vice-president & business head, India & ME business, Wipro said: "Wipro is the No.2 greenbrand in India after Samsung and Nokia. Of our annual desktop production of two lakh units, greenware would be 15-20 percent."
"Greenware desktops will be followed by greenware laptops from the Wipro stable soon," he said.
Wipro has 17 e-waste collection centres in India where products were collected and recycled, he said.
Earlier, Behar said 12 Wipro campuses in the country had been certified green buildings adding recently the company had established "green data centre" in Delhi.
