Harrisburg, Pa. – D&H, a leading CE and computer
distributor, announced in honor of Earth Day the breadth of its “green”
products — those deemed ecologically friendly — has increased by 20 percent
over last year.
The distributor
currently lists approximately 7,600 green-certified products, up from 6,300 at
this time in 2011 and approximately 4,000 in January 2010 when the “Go Green”
program launched.
Green-certified
products are still in demand among D&H customers, who are projected to
purchase these products at an average run rate of nearly 10 million items per
year. This is the third year in a row that D&H’s green line, and sales of
these items, have seen notable growth.
Items are labeled
green-certified when they use less power, incorporate renewable resources, are
Energy Star or RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, or have
some other ecologically conservative characteristic.
“It’s encouraging
that environmentally attuned technologies have not been a flash in the pan,”
said Jeff Davis, senior sales VP at D&H.
“The market wouldn’t embrace this trend if it weren’t generating actual
efficiencies in the field. These
products have created a viable and popular way for consumers and home-office
end users to leverage powerful technologies while remaining both ecologically
and economically smart.”
