2.2.3 Best environmental practices
2.2.3.1 General principles and guidance The general principle for eco-efficient manufacturing is to minimize resource consumption in production
and transport of the ICT product. •
The product designer should communicate the key environmentally conscious criteria to the manufacturer such as types of components, selection of materials, and specification of manufacturing
processes intermediate, assembly, testing, and packaging that will deliver the expected eco-benefits. 2.2.3.2 Materials and energy required in manufacturing the product
• The manufacturer should provide for efficient manufacturing processes that minimize resource and
energy usage within their operation. •
The manufacturer should use minimal resources in the production phase by:
2
specifying lightweight materials and components;
specifying materials that do not require additional surface treatment;
structuring the product to avoid rejects and minimize material waste in production;
minimizing the number of components;
specifying materials with low-intensity production;
specifying clean, high-efficiency production processes;
simplifying as few manufacturing steps as possible.
2.2.3.3 Eco-impact of transportlogisticsproduct distribution •
The manufacturer should use minimal resources in transporting materials, components, sub- assemblies and finished products by:
employing folding, nesting or disassembly to distribute products in a compact state;
applying structural techniques and materials to minimize the total volume of material;
specifying lightweight materials and components.

Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions ATIS – In March 2009,
the Network Interface, Power, and Protection NIPP committee of ATIS published three specifications of telecommunication systems. The specifications describe a methodology for measurement and
reporting of energy efficiency. One of the documents describes the general requirements and serves as the base requirements. The other two describe the requirements for servers and transport. ATIS
specifications define a metric for energy efficiency – namely the Telecommunications Energy Efficiency Ratio TEER that is defined as the ratio of Useful Work to Power. Useful Work depends on the
equipment in question and examples include performance measures like data rate, throughput, processess, etc. Power is the actual measured equipment power in watts.
