In order to welcome the world environment day (June 5 every year), Razer, a well-known game peripheral manufacturer in the industry, has just released the first batch of ecolog game mice certified by UL As a global safety regulation leader, Underwriters Laboratories Inc. now recognizes Razer basilisk V3 and deathadder essential as the first to pass the sustainable product certification of the organization according to the portable electronic product sustainability survey outline (ul2710).

After independent scientific evaluation by a third party, Razer hopes to clearly convey to the vast consumer and fan community that its best-selling mouse model meets the strict environmental performance industry standards.
Over the past decade, Razer has been fulfilling its commitment to manufacturing and sustainable development of environmentally friendly products through the gogreenwithrazer program.
As for why basilisk V3 and deathadder essential were selected to take the lead in passing ecolog certification, the main reason is that their speed, customizability and comfort are highly praised by game players.
It can be seen that in addition to complying with the European Union regulations on the restriction of hazardous chemicals (RoHS), UL also assessed the skin irritation and sensitization of mouse materials, Razer's maintenance and replacement management process, and how the company handed over the waste to the service provider for treatment.
In addition, there is the sustainability of mouse packaging. The two products have been made of FSC certified materials, free of heavy metals and chlorine, and printed with environmentally friendly soybean ink, so they can be easily recycled and reused.
Finally, UL also inspected Razer's production facilities and passed ISO 14001 certification to ensure that the mouse is manufactured in a strictly responsible environment for environmental protection throughout its life cycle.
Of course, this is not the first time Razer and UL have pioneered sustainable development in the industry.
For example, at razercon 2021 online virtual activity last year, both parties announced to promote the ecological label of class III environmental product declaration (EPD) to encourage the sustainable manufacturing of game products.
Kenneth ng, Razer sustainability manager, said:
The best way to celebrate World Environment Day is to share with community members the mouse that helped them win the game. It also has a unique bonus in environmental protection.
Finally, Doug Lockard, vice president and general manager of the retail and consumer products group of UL, added:
By using ecolog logo, enterprises represented by Razer can demonstrate their commitment to sustainable development and cleaner environment through trusted third-party review and one of the most trusted eco label programs in the world.
