The Carbon Trust's mission is to accelerate the move to a low carbon economy, by working with businesses to reduce carbon emissions now and develop low carbon technologies. They offer interest-free loans for investment in energy efficient equipment. - ACT ON CO2
ACT ON CO2 is a cross-government initiative that aims to help people save money, save energy and reduce their CO2 emissions. The campaign highlights how businesses and individuals can act to help prevent climate change. - Digital Pipeline
Digital Pipeline reduces unnecessary waste of useful surplus computers that may otherwise get thrown away and puts them to them to good use in under-served schools and communities who cannot afford new computer equipment. - WEEE Directive
The Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment Directive came into force in January 2007. It aims to both reduce the amount of electrical and electronic equipment being produced and to encourage everyone to reuse, recycle and recover it.

We tend not to think of the consequences of bad disposal of IT equipment, so it is great to be offered a real practical solution.

Disposal and recycle options that benefit local communities and minimise environmental impact has to be a WIN WIN outcome. I see huge opportunities here

Like it or not organisations are being compelled to rethink how they consume and dispose of natural resources and sustainable development has become key.

Fantastic project. I really think that business needs to think about what it does with old IT kit both for the environment and security. Well done Emnico!
