Computers and peripherals

Desktop and laptop personal computers

DEFRA estimate that there are around 12.2 million desktop computers in the UK, and around 17.3 million laptop computers. As the UK has around 26.6 million homes, domestic computers (desktops and laptops) now out-number households.

Choosing an energy efficient desktop or laptop computer can have a real impact on reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Printers

Choosing an Energy Saving Trust Recommended inkjet printer over a non-Energy Saving Trust Recommended one can save you almost a third of the electricity you would normally use running your printer over a year. If everyone buying a new inkjet printer in the UK were to buy an Energy Saving Trust Recommended one, they would save around £700,000 a year on electricity bills, and nearly 3,000 tonnes of CO 2, equivalent to taking 900 cars off the UK's roads.
