Abstract :
EPEAT - the electronic product environmental assessment tool - was launched in 2006 as a way to identify environmentally-preferable desktop and laptop computers and monitors. But the tremendous success of the system has driven demand for the system to include more products. This paper outlines plans for developing additional environmental leadership standards within the EPEAT system.
