To certify both products with the ECOLOGO® label, UL analyzed several sustainability criteria. They tested the mice for compliance with EU restricted chemical substances regulations, and also tested for skin irritation and sensitization.

Finally, UL also inspected Razer facilities to certify that the mice were manufactured in facilities committed to responsible environmental stewardship, as evidenced by ISO 14001 certification.

“What better way to celebrate World Environment Day than to share with our community that the same mice that help us win games are also a victory for the environment,” said Kenneth Ng, Razer Chief Sustainability Officer.

“Unlike companies that claim their products are sustainable, we go the extra mile to prove to fans and consumers that our products are truly sustainable. Our gaming community can now ensure that their favorite mice have been thoroughly vetted by a trusted scientific organization that reviewed a comprehensive list of criteria for ECOLOGO® certification.”

“By using the ECOLOGO® label, companies like Razer can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and a cleaner environment through credible third-party review and certification and one of the most trusted eco-label programs in the world. ,” stated Doug Lockard, vice president and general manager of retail power sales for consumer products at UL.
