The path to greener E-waste disposal

Introduction

We’ve grown accustomed to living in a throwaway society where we’re replacing our devices every few years. Landfill sites are bursting at the seams, choked with broken, obsolete, and retired electronic equipment thrown out en masse by businesses and individuals alike. At the same time, it’s no secret that computing networks and data centres account for an increasingly high percentage of most companies’ energy consumption.

It’s easy to think of the financial and environmental costs associated with information systems as uncontrollable and unavoidable. Business leaders focussed on achieving greater corporate social responsibility (CSR) often ask themselves if there’s another way. How can they become a force for good in a time when the environment is increasingly on everyone’s minds? How do they move from being a part of the problem to becoming part of the solution?
