Environmental ImpactRedundant ICT equipment represents almost 40% of the 1 million tonnes of electronic waste produced in the UK every year. New regulations mean that electronic waste should be disposed of responsibly and that means paying a registered contractor to dispose of old equipment. However, you could make significant savings with a few small changes: - Move to flat-screen technology as soon as possible and reduce monitor electricity consumption by 75%.
- Switch off as much equipment as possible overnight and at weekends.
- Rationalise printing by reducing the desktop units and replacing them with fewer multi-function devices with higher throughput.
- Make greater use of Open Source software which can take advantage of older equipment. In this way you can get more for your investment.
