Green Computing : An Ecofriendly Approach to Manage E-waste
Keywords:
Green Computing, E-Waste, Green Design, Green Disposal, Green Manufacturing, Green Use.Abstract
The advances in technology resulted not only in faster analysis and speedier calculations but also resulted in an increase in the carbon footprints. Conservation of the non-renewable resources and protection of our environment have become issues of great concern. It has also given utmost attention to minimization of E-waste and to the use of non-toxic materials in preparation of e-equipments. Green computing, the study of efficient and eco-friendly computing resources, is the environmentally responsible use of computers and related resources. It includes the implementation of energy-efficient processors, reduced resource consumption and proper disposal of electronic waste (e-waste). In recent years, companies in the computer industry have come to realize that going green is the way to be and many steps are being taken in this regard. This paper discusses the different approaches at all levels to be green which would help to deal with E-waste effectively.
