Eco-Efficiency
This presentation will be a roadmap for a sustainable
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) service
Eco-Innovation
![Page 5: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

What do we understand by this
term: eco-efficiency?
• The concept of eco-efficiency is about finding ways to
deliver competitively priced goods and services that satisfy
human needs and enhance quality of life while
progressively reducing the ecological impacts and resource
intensity of products and services to levels that are in line
with the earth’s estimated carrying capacity (WCSBD
1992).
![Page 6: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Or more simply . . .
• Improving eco-efficiency - achieving the
same or better levels of economic value
with the same or better levels of
environmental performance
![Page 7: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
And eco-innovation
• either improving the performance of
existing technologies, or creating new
technologies
![Page 8: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Why Green IT?
Our appetite for electronics and energy is outpacing our supply
of renewable and non-renewable resources
Because the world population is increasing rapidly,
exponentially
Because we are generating GHG at an exhaustive rate
Because we generate excessive e-waste
Because we are producing lethal toxic & hazardous wastes
……..
Require socially responsible action
Smart resource usage
Savey technological innovations
![Page 12: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
IT is part of the problem while at the same time IT is part of the solution
![Page 13: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Management Processes
Materials / Resources
IT Innovation
There is a need to establish the baseline of progress towards sustainable best practice in various areas.
Energy Usage & climate change
Waste production
Health & Safety
![Page 15: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Green IT Strategy requires a
Green IT Index
We cannot measure our improvements if we do not have a baseline of energy consumption and carbon emissions
![Page 16: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Profile the IT services of your organization
Create an IT roadmap of green initiatives
Reduce energy usage & carbon emissions & save BDs
We need to calculate, track and account for IT energy consumption & carbon emissions for every IT service
![Page 17: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CARBON EMISSIONS
we keep addressing carbon emissions & energy usage . . .
![Page 18: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ICT fastest growing energy
consuming sector
ICT global carbon emissions – est 2 -2.5% world
total carbon emissions
Same as airline industry
Developed nations ICT carbon emissions 5-6%
ICT sector’s carbon footprint expected to triple from 2002
figures in 2020
![Page 19: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ICT & Office Energy
ICT energy expenses – presently 10% overall budget
2006 Gartner Report predicts that this will increase to 50%
e.g. Google already spends more on energy consumption than on
server expenses
Office energy consumption – min 20% used by
ICT systems
max 70%
![Page 20: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Life cycle environmental impact
From supply chain to operational use
Retirement & Disposal
The IT strategy needs to focus not just on reduction of carbon emissions but be more inclusive in other areas also.
![Page 21: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Even goldfish have a strategy
![Page 22: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

has grown incrementally
Starting an IT Sustainability Plan is a challenge for a number of reasons. The IT Infrastructure
Organisational barriers – not endorse sustainability initiatives
may be spread out across an organisation
Asset lists - different naming conventions Baseline
Evaluate
Redesign
![Page 23: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Produce a summary of energy demands and waste patterns
Baselining current energy consumption and waste production /carbon footprint provides
the necessary data for setting goals
Define priorities
Define short term action
Initial step is to create a snapshot of all your networked equipment
DEVISE LONG TERM
SUSTAINABILITY PLAN
![Page 24: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

1B cell phones / year
Let’s look at electronic production . . .
130M new PC’s / year
![Page 28: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
FASTEST GROWING WASTE
STREAM GLOBALLY
E-waste
![Page 29: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
500M obsolete computers in USA / past 10 years
This brings us to the concept of e-Waste (aka WEEE)
ONLY 12% obsolete computers and discarded
mobiles are recycled per year
![Page 30: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Solid waste items are recycled at rate closer to 42%
Household appliance recycled at a rate of 70%
E-Waste only 2% MSW by weight
Now compare electronic waste with other waste items (USA statistics – Municipal Solid Waste (MSW))
![Page 31: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
E-Waste accounts for 70% heavy metals in landfill
E-waste accounts for 40% lead in landfill
BUT there is always a ‘but’
![Page 32: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Exported to developing nations
Disassembled by hand – or burned in open air
EVEN Dumped at seas
And what happens to e-waste that does not go to the landfill?
![Page 33: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Stockpiled locally – USA 70% obsolete systems
Waiting for disposal solutions
And what happens to e-waste that does not go to the landfill?
![Page 34: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Practical example
• Use power
management to
reduce energy waste
• Switch from free
running to power
managed
• e.g. average
computer and monitor
combination
consumes 2000 kWh
electricity per year
• Use power
management and
save 500-1000 kWh
per year
![Page 35: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Practical example
• Use power
management to
reduce energy waste
• e.g. replace desktop
computers with
laptops with LCD
monitors
• power usage ~ 570
kWh per year
![Page 36: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What kind of financial savings is
this? • USA figures – energy
costs of 0.15c per
kWh (2007)
• organisation with 500
computers
• Switch to power
management
• SAVINGS!!!
• US$100,000 per year
![Page 37: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Practical examples
• Printer default
settings
– e.g. double sided
• Reprogramme users’
mindset
– Preview
– Select relevant page
ONLY
– Margins
– # pages per sheet
![Page 38: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
ACT ON ECO-RESPONSIBILITY
Requires systematic planning, buy-in across
organisation, staffing and funding
baseline measurement
evaluation
planning – short term and long term
execution
re-assessment
![Page 39: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
OTHER OPTIONS
![Page 40: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Green IT Initiatives
Teleworking – reduce transportation emissions
Smart energy applications – adjust energy
consumption to real time needs and climate
conditions
Virtualization – eliminate wasteful network
equipment, reduce energy consumption , reduce
floor space requirements
![Page 41: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Energy Management Systems
Server rooms currently consume excessive energy and actually waste 30-60%
Integrated planning – use of modern technology – use best
energy management systems - could reduce power
consumption 50-80%
Also reduce the floor space allocated will also reduce
energy consumption – up to 65%
How can this be done?
High-efficiency technology for cooling
power sourcing
virtualization techniques
![Page 42: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Green supply chains
Procurement Departments seeking EPP – environmentally
preferred purchasing
IT sector needs to work with Sustainability Officer and
Purchasing Dept to secure the most desirable providers
The need to evaluate life cycle environmental footprint of
suppliers and buyers
Requires communicating & educating suppliers of the green
needs and expectations
This is an approach to sustainable supply-chain initiatives
![Page 43: Ruw green i-troadmap](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5561de7dd8b42a9d068b473e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Environmentally preferred
purchasing - EPP
Look for Energy Star compliance or EPEAT guidelines
