European Green TV 2011-2012 - Philips 46PFL6806
In its quest for energy efficiency, the Philips 46PFL6806 reaches a power consumption of just 56 Watts in standard-mode, outperforming the direct competition. Chemical analyses of the PCB’s by SIMS Mirec Recycling Solutions, the world’s largest electrical and electronics recovery and recycling company, proved that the Philips 46PFL6806 is less of a burden on the environment than other TV’s. The holistic approach to eco-design from last year’s winner is surely not met, but the more affordable Philips 46PFL6806 clearly succeeds in implementing some radical steps from last year into a more ‘general’ design.
