Design for the environment
Palm's design for the environment program is designed to achieve pollution prevention and conservation of resources during our products' life cycle.
Palm has developed a design for the environment scorecard to provide a quantitative and measurable assessment of our products. The program has 3 priorities:
- Design for repair, upgradeability, and recycling
- Design to minimize power consumption and maximize energy efficiency
- Design for environmentally friendly materials and manufacturing
