PPDS achieves new sustainability milestone as Philips Signage EcoDesign becomes first digital display to be awarded EPEAT Climate+ Gold certification

PPDS, global provider of Philips Professional Displays and complementary solutions, has announced that its ultra low power, 50’’ Philips Signage 3650 EcoDesign has become the first digital signage display to be awarded EPEAT Climate+ Gold designation, with more models set to follow.

Launched at ISE 2023, the Philips Signage 3000 Series EcoDesign is PPDS’ debut digital signage offering designed with the company’s evolutionary EcoDesign methodology, implementing new manufacturing processes, physical features, materials, packaging, and built in software that are kinder to the environment and deliver better energy efficiency.

Delivering 4K performance while consuming about 50 percent less energy versus comparable premium digital signage models, the Philips Signage 3000 Series EcoDesign has already received among the industry’s lowest energy label ratings (E on the 50’’ model, D on the 55’’ and C on the 65’’ models) and was initially awarded an EPEAT Climate+ Silver designation.

Founded in 2006, EPEAT is the world’s premier eco label for electronics, measuring the social and environmental impacts of products from extraction to end-of-life, while also certifying they have met 100 percent of the Climate Criteria plus at least 50 percent of the existing optional criteria. These include: Climate (reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the manufacturing supply chain and product use); circularity (how products are designed for reuse and recycling, and which ones responsibly address packaging, water, and waste); chemicals of concern (eliminating the use of toxic chemicals that are hazardous to human health and the environment); and responsible supply chains (the responsible sourcing of materials, fair labour practices, and worker health and safety in the electronics supply chain).

Owned and operated by the Global Electronics Council (GEC) - a mission-driven non-profit that seeks to create a world with only sustainable electronics - EPEAT helps to support and promote more informed, sustainable-driven buying decisions, providing access to a free online registry, identifying and detailing products from the broadest range of manufacturers across the globe.

“At PPDS, the environment and sustainability are at the core for our product development, from the initial designs, right the way through to manufacturing, delivery, and post installation”, says Bart Wouters, International Product Manager at PPDS. “With the Philips Signage 3000 EcoDesign Series, we achieved a major industry milestone in gaining EPEAT Climate+ Silver. As with all our products, we continued in our pursuit for more. And now this groundbreaking product achieved even better, with EPEAT Climate+ Gold.”

The Philips Signage 3000 Series EcoDesign benefits from PPDS’ ongoing strategy to reduce wastage - including plastic - from its packaging, delivered in 90 percent recycled and 100 percent recyclable materials, with the removal of paper-based manuals and instructions. In addition, all plastic bags have been removed, while the use of polystyrene has been replaced with innovative cushioning made using 100 percent recycled carton, maintaining the same levels of safety and protection of the product.
