Wipro Infotech today announced the launch of its new eco-friendly Wipro Greenware desktops, manufactured using materials completely free of deadly chemicals like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs), for the first time in India.

Based on the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, Wipro Greenware range of desktops are free from carcinogenic materials such as PVC and BFRs.

BFRs or brominated flame retardants are added to materials to slow down their rate of combustion. BFRs have toxic properties and also have a tendency to accrue in the environment.

PVC or Polyvinyl chloride is a cheap plastic used extensively by the electronics industry mainly as an insulator and coating for electrical cables. Both PVC and BFR are not easily biodegradable and therefore pose a serious threat to the environment

These deadly toxins, once removed, ensure the recycling of electronic products is safer by reducing exposure of poisonous chemicals to the environment.

"Wipro considers the launch of PVC-  and BFR-free products a major breakthrough in its clean production and recycling policy," the IT major said in a statement.
