Using computers and the Internet responsibly requires everyone to consider the impact their ICT choices make on the environment. Current estimates are that ICT waste contributes at least 39% of the
1 million tonnes of electronic waste generated in the UK each year.
There are many different green issues
that
relate to ICT and they are fast moving into mainstream thinking. These include:
Reuse and repair of ICT equipment
Safe disposal and recycling of ICT equipment
Using less energy and less paper
Choices when purchasing new equipment
There are a number of ways to make your organisation more green aware in its use of ICT.
Using an office system example to look at how current greener technology can be
applied to the smaller business,
Paul will provide a background and history of companies active in the emerging gree
n market, and provide advice on
what features to loo
k for
and where to source green equipment.
