In the past 12 months we’ve seen the launch of EPEAT, a procurement tool to help institutional purchasers compare and select desktop computers, notebooks and monitors based on their environmental attributes. The intent of EPEAT is to provide an incentive to electronic manufacturers to improve the environmental design of their products through a clear and consistent set of performance criteria.
Are these changes bringing us closer to a cradle to cradle model? How can your organization utilize the EPEAT tool?
Come hear two leading experts on electronic waste discuss these recent changes. Wayne Rifer , was the Project Manger of EPEAT development and is currently the EPEAT Operations Manager. Sego Jackson , is Chair of the Policy Committee of the Northwest Product Stewardship Council and Principal Planner for the Snohomish County Solid Waste Management Division.
