Sustainable Monitor Packaging: The Eco-Friendly Choice for Schools

BUYER'S GUIDE

Sustainable Monitor Packaging:
The Eco-Friendly Choice for Schools

Schools are under pressure to do more with less. Budgets are tight. Sustainability goals are inspiring. ViewSonic offers budget-friendly and eco-friendly solutions through the packaging materials we use for our business monitors.

Why Eco-Friendly Packaging Matters for Schools

Whether your district is working toward a green school certification, and/or reducing waste in your facilities, sustainable packaging is a meaningful place to start. It’s not just about the environment. Eco-friendly packaging means less material to dispose of, less strain on your custodial staff and fewer costs associated with waste removal. It’s a small change that adds up fast across a large deployment.

What ViewSonic Is Doing Differently

We’ve made a series of concrete changes to how we package our monitors. ViewSonic business monitor packaging is designed to reduce waste without compromising protection.

No More Styrofoam

We’ve eliminated styrofoam from our business monitor packaging entirely. In its place, we use paper pulp inserts that hold monitors securely and break down far more responsibly after disposal.

Plastic-Free Cable Packaging

Plastic cable bags are gone too. Select models now have cables that come packaged directly in the box without the extra plastic wrapping. Less waste per order, every time.

FSC-Certified Materials

Select ViewSonic monitors carry FSC certification, which means the materials used in our packaging come from responsibly managed forests. It’s a standard your school can be proud of when reporting on sustainability initiatives.

Water-Based Ink Printing

With the FSC certification, the printing on select packaging uses water-based inks. This is an eco-conscious choice that reduces environmental impact without sacrificing durability or design quality.

Dual-Head Packs

For select monitors, ViewSonic offers dual-head packs that remove the stand from the packaging entirely. Shipping two monitor heads in one box also means fewer cartons to recycle. All dual-head packs ship in eco-friendly packaging, so schools can cut waste without cutting corners.

Energy Efficiency That Goes Beyond the Box

Sustainable packaging is just one part of the picture. ViewSonic monitors are also designed to reduce energy consumption over their lifetime.

Several monitors carry EPEAT certifications at the Bronze, Silver or Gold level, along with ENERGY STAR® certification. EPEAT recognizes products that meet strict environmental performance standards across their full lifecycle, from materials to end-of-life disposal, with Gold representing the highest tier. ENERGY STAR certification means the monitor meets EPA guidelines for energy efficiency, helping schools reduce electricity costs and lower greenhouse gas emissions over time.

Together, these certifications make ViewSonic monitors a strong choice for schools pursuing green purchasing programs or working toward sustainability benchmarks set by their district or state. 

The Bottom Line for Schools

Sustainable purchasing doesn’t have to mean spending more. ViewSonic’s eco-friendly packaging choices are built into our standard products, not sold as a premium add-on. When you order ViewSonic monitors for your school, you’re getting displays designed with the environment in mind from the box they come in to the energy they consume every day.

Less waste. Lower costs. A better investment for your school and the planet.
