AVI-SPL and Barco\u2019s commitment to sustainable solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nVI-SPL and Barco can help you make technology choices that respond to employee needs and support company sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barco has been at the forefront of sustainable solutions since 2015, retooling its product designs, packaging, manufacturing, and distribution processes to reduce their carbon footprint. In recent news, Barco is included in TIME Magazine\u2019s 2024 list of the World\u2019s 500 Most Sustainable Companies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAdditionally, AVI-SPL recently released its first ESG report<\/a>, which includes our commitment, programs, and progress. Together, AVI-SPL and Barco can help you review and choose solutions and devices that respond to employee needs and support company sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere are five ways your technology choices support sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/avispl.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/12\/infinity_life-2-1024x931.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n1. Designed for longevity and circularity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Barco designs new technology from the ground up and considers end-to-end environmental impact from design to manufacturing to packaging and shipping. The company created a comprehensive environmental impact measurement process through its ecoscoring<\/a> model. Products with a lower environmental footprint are marked with the \u201cBarco Eco Product Label.\u201d
You can boost sustainability in meeting rooms by choosing Barco ClickShare conferencing and wireless presentation solutions.
The ClickShare Video Bar range and ClickShare CX-50 2nd gen all boast a CO2logic, a South Pole Company, CO2 Neutral Silver Product label.
The label certifies that a company calculates, reduces, and offsets its carbon footprint every year.
<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Barco\u2019s ClickShare CX-50 gen II, ClickShare Bar Core, and ClickShare Bar Pro wireless conferencing systems are carbon-neutral<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Every ClickShare product is designed with environmental responsibility in mind at every step of the product lifecycle. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- ClickShare Bar emits less carbon than an average air conditioner or laptop<\/a> across its entire lifecycle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- ClickShare CX-50 2nd gen emits less carbon than your average coffee machine<\/a> throughout its 5-year lifecycle <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
While Barco products are designed with long lifespans, AVI-SPL can help ensure your devices perform at optimum levels during their lifetimes with proactive 24\/7 support and managed services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nThe ClickShare Video Bar range and ClickShare CX-50 2nd gen all boast a CO2logic, a South Pole Company, CO2 Neutral Silver Product label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The label certifies that a company calculates, reduces, and offsets its carbon footprint every year. <\/p>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/avispl.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/12\/Barco_Big-Silver-product_Green.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n2. Energy Efficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Energy-efficient audiovisual (AV) devices play a crucial role in promoting sustainability by reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating standby modes that save power when devices are not actively in use is ideal for boosting energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, switching to components that inherently use less power optimizes energy consumption.<\/p>\n<\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/avispl.pe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2024\/12\/China-belt-and-road-1-unisee-video-wall-1024x575.png\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn meeting rooms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- ClickShare products not only comply with the strictest Ecodesign legislation (The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation) requirements for standby mode, but further reduce it to half the mandated limit<\/a> (*Based on power consumption test report from Barco\u2019s lab).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For instance, the ClickShare Bar range is 30% more energy efficient than competitive products in BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In control rooms<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Barco TruePix LED features an eco-power standby mode. It also has a long life span since it can be serviced for up to 10 years with LED batch-compatible tiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- TruePix-I, takes sustainability even further. Its flip-chip technology makes individual LEDs more efficient. The result is higher brightness (over 1000 nit) at a lower power consumption. This further reduces the TCO and the ecological footprint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Barco UniSee II video wall boasts a 20% reduction in power consumption compared to its predecessor, significantly decreasing its environmental impact and energy costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Compared to typical LCDs, Barco UniSee II consumes 20% less power\u202f(on average, depending on the content\u202f). These reduced power needs are driven by using energy-efficient mini-LEDs as backlight<\/a>, vs. traditional LCDs with always-on backlights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Barco Rear Projection Cubes (RPCs) feature the powerful Laser projection system of the ODL series, which provides high contrast and excellent image quality, all with low power consumption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can upgrade some rear projection LED video walls to RPC laser technology with available upgrade kits.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Proactive monitoring and management<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nAVI-SPL Symphony<\/a> software further supports your sustainability goals. Symphony users can extend product lifespans and reduce the total cost of ownership with automated device shutdown, remote monitoring of device health, and powering down when they are not in use. Symphony also supports a positive employee experience by resolving issues before they impact users. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn addition, the software provides room and technology usage analytics to make intelligent decisions on technology investments and reduce wasted spend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Leverage recycled and non-hazardous materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Using materials like post-consumer resin (PCR) plastics (derived from recycled materials that consumers have already used) in product manufacturing offers several significant sustainability benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
PCR plastics help divert waste from landfills, reducing the environmental impact of plastic pollution and reducing the need for new raw materials. And, recycling plastics requires less energy than manufacturing new plastics from raw materials, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using halogen-free printed circuit boards (PCB) also keeps hazardous waste, such as mercury, out of landfills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe pay close attention to the materials used in our products: choosing for non-paint plastics and opting for halogen-free PCB where possible. We also focus on using recycled materials, all our manuals are printed on recycled paper but also the products themselves use recycled materials. From Button to Tray: every product uses up to 30% recycled materials.\u201d \u2013 Barco<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\nTriple your tech bottom line with sustainable solutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barco and AVI-SPL help you achieve a Triple Bottom Line from your technology investments \u2013 supporting people, planet, and profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We deliver technology solutions that are simple to use, scalable, and sustainably produced, used, and recycled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n4. More eco-friendly delivery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Packaging and shipping are integral parts of the product lifecycle that can significantly influence a product\u2019s overall sustainability score. For example, plastic packaging often has a higher carbon footprint compared to biodegradable or recyclable materials. Here are some highlights from Barco.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Barco has reimagined packaging for products like ClickShare CX-50 2nd Gen with recycled (90%) and recyclable (94%) cardboard. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- For ClickShare Video Bars, 86% of the cardboard packaging is made of recycled materials, and 98% of its packaging can be recycled. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Packaging is reused between Barco suppliers as much as possible, drastically reducing waste at this step. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Shipping weight and methods impact a product\u2019s carbon footprint as well. Packing is designed to be as light as possible. Also, Barco\u2019s primary transportation channel is by sea, followed by truck freight and air as a last resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. End-of-life options that avoid landfills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Whether at the end of their service life or the end of their useful life, technology doesn\u2019t simply disappear. Its material components live on, making proper, compliant disposal and recycling essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barco offers a ClickShare trade-in program that simplifies upgrading to the latest energy-efficient devices. This trade-in program aligns with best practices, including the WEEE directive, by providing an environmentally responsible way to dispose of your existing hardware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, AVI-SPL offers electronics recycling services during technology deployment as part of large room refresh projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

VI-SPL and Barco can help you make technology choices that respond to employee needs and support company sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Barco has been at the forefront of sustainable solutions since 2015, retooling its product designs, packaging, manufacturing, and distribution processes to reduce their carbon footprint. In recent news, Barco is included in TIME Magazine\u2019s 2024 list of the World\u2019s 500 Most Sustainable Companies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, AVI-SPL recently released its first ESG report<\/a>, which includes our commitment, programs, and progress. Together, AVI-SPL and Barco can help you review and choose solutions and devices that respond to employee needs and support company sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are five ways your technology choices support sustainability.<\/p>\n<\/div> Barco designs new technology from the ground up and considers end-to-end environmental impact from design to manufacturing to packaging and shipping. The company created a comprehensive environmental impact measurement process through its ecoscoring<\/a> model. Products with a lower environmental footprint are marked with the \u201cBarco Eco Product Label.\u201d While Barco products are designed with long lifespans, AVI-SPL can help ensure your devices perform at optimum levels during their lifetimes with proactive 24\/7 support and managed services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The ClickShare Video Bar range and ClickShare CX-50 2nd gen all boast a CO2logic, a South Pole Company, CO2 Neutral Silver Product label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The label certifies that a company calculates, reduces, and offsets its carbon footprint every year. <\/p>\n<\/div> Energy-efficient audiovisual (AV) devices play a crucial role in promoting sustainability by reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating standby modes that save power when devices are not actively in use is ideal for boosting energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, switching to components that inherently use less power optimizes energy consumption.<\/p>\n<\/div> AVI-SPL Symphony<\/a> software further supports your sustainability goals. Symphony users can extend product lifespans and reduce the total cost of ownership with automated device shutdown, remote monitoring of device health, and powering down when they are not in use. Symphony also supports a positive employee experience by resolving issues before they impact users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the software provides room and technology usage analytics to make intelligent decisions on technology investments and reduce wasted spend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Using materials like post-consumer resin (PCR) plastics (derived from recycled materials that consumers have already used) in product manufacturing offers several significant sustainability benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n PCR plastics help divert waste from landfills, reducing the environmental impact of plastic pollution and reducing the need for new raw materials. And, recycling plastics requires less energy than manufacturing new plastics from raw materials, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Using halogen-free printed circuit boards (PCB) also keeps hazardous waste, such as mercury, out of landfills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe pay close attention to the materials used in our products: choosing for non-paint plastics and opting for halogen-free PCB where possible. We also focus on using recycled materials, all our manuals are printed on recycled paper but also the products themselves use recycled materials. From Button to Tray: every product uses up to 30% recycled materials.\u201d \u2013 Barco<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Triple your tech bottom line with sustainable solutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n Barco and AVI-SPL help you achieve a Triple Bottom Line from your technology investments \u2013 supporting people, planet, and profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We deliver technology solutions that are simple to use, scalable, and sustainably produced, used, and recycled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read the article for full details.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div> Packaging and shipping are integral parts of the product lifecycle that can significantly influence a product\u2019s overall sustainability score. For example, plastic packaging often has a higher carbon footprint compared to biodegradable or recyclable materials. Here are some highlights from Barco.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Shipping weight and methods impact a product\u2019s carbon footprint as well. Packing is designed to be as light as possible. Also, Barco\u2019s primary transportation channel is by sea, followed by truck freight and air as a last resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether at the end of their service life or the end of their useful life, technology doesn\u2019t simply disappear. Its material components live on, making proper, compliant disposal and recycling essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Barco offers a ClickShare trade-in program that simplifies upgrading to the latest energy-efficient devices. This trade-in program aligns with best practices, including the WEEE directive, by providing an environmentally responsible way to dispose of your existing hardware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, AVI-SPL offers electronics recycling services during technology deployment as part of large room refresh projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can create a more sustainable and employee-friendly work environment by evaluating your meeting and control room technology with an eco-friendly lens.
