Sustainable Tech Special Award
Increases Awareness for ESG Trends, Promoting Environmental Protection and
Sustainability Requirements
With
the growing interest in ESG integration in the global supply chain, the Best
Choice Award introduced the Sustainable Tech Special Award. The special award
aims to promote products that are compliant with ESG goals and sustainability
trends. From a survey of the participating and winning products, it is clear
that manufacturers have already taken active steps in being eco-friendlier and
more sustainable. For example, by utilizing recycled materials into the product
or the packaging materials, implementing carbon-reducing and recyclable
designs, and more.
For
example, the award-winning products ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED has surpassed the
ENERGY STAR certification requirements by 44%, features 100% non-plastic
packaging materials and uses 70% FSC-certified paper. The product also utilizes
29% less raw material through the groundbreaking Thixomolding process at only
25% the production time.
ASUS's
ExpertBook B9 OLED is verified as exceeding ENERGY STAR standards by 44%,
meaning the product consumes energy at a lower-than-average rate. Its packaging
is 100% nonplastic and and uses 70% FSC-certified paper. Using breakthrough
thixomolding to produce the Mg-Li materials used in the laptop, raw materials
are reduced by 29% and production time by 75%. The ASUS ExpertBook B9 OLED is
suitable for carbon-neutral policies to help reduce a company's carbon
footprint.
Another
award-winning product, the Acer Aspire Vero 15 is manufactured mainly from
post-consumer recycled plastics (PCR) which is expected to reduce plastic usage
by 30 tons in this year. PCT is used in 40% of chassis and 50% of the keycaps
and power adapter casing. The OceanGlass touchpad is made with ocean plastics
and the eco-packaging of the Aspire Vero 15 is 100% recyclable and reusable.
AI Computing Becomes the Most Popular
Tech Category
TCA
stated that the AI trend brought about by ChatGPT, GPT-4, PaLM 2, etc. has
accelerated the implementation of AI computing into industrial applications.
According to a report by IDC, the global spending on AI systems including
software, hardware, and cloud related solutions in 2023 is estimated to achieve
USD 154 billion, an increase of 26.9% from 2022. The global market size of
AI-centric systems is expected to surpass $300 billion in 2026 with a CAGR of
