A Greener Mio

Since Mio’s conception in 2003 the size of the average packing box has been reduced in volume by 84.5%. This means that our boxes now: take up less space in landfills, recycling plants and bins around the world; reduce energy consumption during manufacture and maximize transportation usage.

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) – Mio is constantly striving to reduce the amount of restricted hazardous materials ‐ Lead ,Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) ,Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) ‐ used in its products to below the amounts stated in the EU and China directives.

WEEE (Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment) – The principal aim of the WEEE directive is to reduce the amount of electrical waste being dumped in landfill sites across Europe. MiTAC continually strive to manufacture environmentally safe products in order to facilitate the recycling, dismantling and regeneration of the Mio product range and other products. By complying with these regulations MiTAC and Mio are helping Europe stay cleaner for generations to come.

EuP (Energy using Products) – The EuP directive focuses on how energy efficient products are during their lifecycle, all the way from raw material selection through to their final disposal. As a responsible manufacturer MiTAC regularly assess the lifecycle of all of its products including the Mio range.

In order to reduce the amount of fuel used during the delivery of its products, MiTAC have implemented the use of more environmentally friendly logistically policies:

To reduce gas emissions caused during movement of goods, MiTAC has implemented the use of more energy efficient logistics and excessive packaging reduction.

Since 2003, MiTAC has implemented the Economy Department field development industry technology plan (ITDP), which includes research and development of non‐lead and non–halogen assembly systems and integrative technologies.
