2012 Forum – Electronics Disposal Efficiency: An IT Recycling Metric for Enterprises and Data Centers

This session presents an overview of the newly proposed Electronics Disposal Efficiency (EDE) metric, which is designed to help increase industry awareness regarding the responsible disposal of IT assets. By providing a simple, easy-to-use metric, The Green Grid believes that organizations will be able to measure themselves and set goals to improve how they dispose of IT assets.
