F400: the future of simulation with sustainability at its core

3 min read

In the realm of high-demanding simulator environments, the F400 projector stands out not only for its exceptional performance but also for its commitment to sustainability. With an A+ ecoscore, the F400 exemplifies how cutting-edge technology can harmonize with eco-design practices, specifically in energy efficiency, materials and end-of-life optimization. Let's delve into the key sustainability aspects that make the F400 a top choice for you to achieve your climate targets.

Energy efficiency

The F400 sets a new benchmark in energy efficiency, outperforming other players in the field, with a relevant energy efficiency of 7 lm/W. This projector ensures optimal energy use, significantly reducing power consumption. Even in eco standby mode, the F400 maintains its energy-efficient edge with a power consumption less than 0.5W, making it a leader in sustainable projection technology.

Material use

Our dedication to environmentally responsible materials is evident in the F400. With high Full Material Declaration coverage and 80% of PCBs being halogen-free, we prioritize reducing harmful substances. There’s a dedicated focus to meet the recyclability targets, such as the use of single grade polymers. The inclusion of recycled plastic further underscores our commitment to sustainability in material choices. 

Packaging and logistics

The F400's packaging ensures that 100% of the pallet surface is utilized, optimizing pallet space. Furthermore, the packaging is optimized for sea shipping, which results in a lower carbon footprint compared to other transport methods. Additionally, relevant parts are delivered in bulk to Barco, reducing the environmental impact of transportation. This approach helps reduce our environmental impact, as well as that of our customers, aligning with the sustainability or eco-design objectives. 

End-of-life optimization

The F400 is designed with longevity and serviceability in mind, supporting a circular economy. The modular product design also facilitates easy disassembly with a minimal number of common tools, enhancing its end-of-life recyclability. With a long spare part availability, we ensure that your F400 system remains relevant and functional for years to come. 

Conclusion

The F400 projector is not just a powerhouse for simulation environments; it is a testament to our commitment to sustainability enabling your organization to achieve its climate targets. Join us in our journey towards a greener future with the F400, where innovation meets sustainability.
