A look at major certification programs in the United States and Europe shows a significant increase in the number of certified models over the past few years.

We've show how, in my locality, America's approach to consumer e-waste provides dis-incentives to rural residents. This post shows the same dynamic at play with university students. But the city did temporarily remove one barrier during a flood.

The most recent update on global e-waste from a consortium of international organizations gives us new data about the problem's scope and grow. Per-capita e-waste growth is slowing, the overall amount is growing with the world's population.

We periodically check in on the Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics, which ranks participating manufacturers on GreenICT criteria. No manufacturer received a top score this time, but there was a wide varience among the global mix of companies.

The issues around the use of metals in e-devices is more complicated than just the matter of conflict minerals. A recent report suggests devices might be more sustainable if they used more plastics and less metals.

Research suggests that design decisions are the dominant factor in the sustainability of e-gear.

Vertatique is launching a new directory of upcoming publications covering Green ICT topics.

Following release of the 2017 Green Power Leadership Awards, EPA released its 2018 Green Power Partner rankings.

ICT companies show less dominence of the top slots than they did five years ago. This is true in both US and Global rankings.

How many IoT devices will we see deployed in the next coming years? It is instructive to see how forecasts have been becoming more conservative.
