This document discusses e-waste and green computing. It defines e-waste as electronic products that are no longer working or obsolete, containing toxic materials. E-waste is generated from technology advances and short product lifecycles. Green computing aims to reduce hazardous materials and maximize energy efficiency throughout a product's lifecycle, including recycling. Some approaches are green disposal, design, manufacturing and use. Tips for individuals include using sleep/power save modes, LCD monitors, notebooks, and refilling cartridges.

4. What is E-waste or Electronics waste
 Electronic waste, or E-Waste , is a term for electronic products that
have become unwanted , non-working or obsolete , and have essentially
reached the end of their useful life.
 Electronic waste is not just waste, it contains some very toxic
substance, such as mercury , lead , cadmium , arsenic , etc. The toxic
materials in electronics can cause cancer, reproductive disorders, and
many other health problems, if this waste stream is not properly
managed.

5. How This Become E-Waste?
Changes and Advancement in Technology.
Changes in Fashion, Style and Status.
Attractive offers from Manufacturers.
Small life of equipment's.

6. Generators Of E-Waste
 Small business and households.
 Large Businesses.
 Institutions and Government offices
 Equipment Manufacturers.

14. GREEN COMPUTING

15.  Green Computing , also called Green technology , is the
environmentally responsible use of computers and related
resources.
 It is the practice of using computer resources efficiently.
 Designing manufacturing , disposing computers , servers
with no impact on the environment.
 To reduce the use of hazardous materials , thus
maximizing energy efficiency during product’s lifetime.
What Is Green Computing?

16.  Reduce use of hazardous materials.
 Maximize energy efficiency during the product’s lifetime.
 Promoting RECYCLABILITY of defect products and factory
waste.
Goals of Green Computing

17. Approaches towards Green Computing
 Green disposal: Re-purposing an existing computer or appropriately
disposing of, or recycling, unwanted electronic equipment.
 Green design: Designing energy efficient computers , servers ,
printers , projectors and other digital devices.
 Green manufacturing: Minimizing waste during the manufacturing
of computers and other subsystems to reduce the environmental
impact of these activities.
 Green Use: Minimizing the electricity consumption of computers and
their peripheral devices and using them in an eco-friendly manner.

18. Tips For Green Computing
 Use sleep mode when away from a computer for extended
periods.
 Use flat-screen or LCD monitors , instead of conventional
cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors.
 Buy energy efficient notebook computers , instead of
desktop computers.
 Turn off computers at the end of each day.
 Refill printer cartridges , rather than buying new ones.
 Instead of purchasing a new computer , try refurbishing an
existing device.

19. Conclusion
 By going “green” in technology we help to promote an ecofriendly
and cleaner environment , along with our own benefits by reducing
costs , conserving energy , cutting down of waste
