The first Chromebook in Acer’s series of environmentally responsible Vero devices, the new Acer Chromebook Vero 514 shows the company’s dedication to sustainability by giving consumers and business customers more alternatives that enable them to lessen their ecological imprint. Because it is simple to update, repair, dismantle, and recycle, the new Acer Chromebook Vero 514 (CBV514-1H/T) has a deliberate design considering the full product lifecycle. Additionally, it employs recycled resources in most components, including 90% recycled paper packaging, 100% ocean-bound plastic on the touchpad surface, 30% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic in the chassis, and 50% PCR plastic in the keycaps.
Impact on Sustainability
The new Acer Chromebook Vero 514 heavily utilizes re-used materials, with 30% of its chassis and screen bezel made of PCR plastic and 50% of its keycaps and speakers. By employing ocean-bound plastics for its OceanGlassTM touchpad, which has a smooth, glass-like texture and a responsive tactile feel, the Chromebook also contributes to reducing ocean plastic waste.
To reduce its influence on the environment, the new Chromebook was created for a prolonged product lifecycle. Using common screws on the bottom cover makes it easier to make modifications and repairs to the storage. The distinctive appearance comprises a 99% recyclable display screen and a paint-free chassis with a cobblestone grey finish. The Acer Chromebook Vero 514 features an impact-resistant screen that can last longer.
