Taking Care of Business
Last week saw more corporate movement on the e-waste issue as Dell and UPS both announced programs to help companies and private users better manage outdated computers and other electronics equipment. Dell's voluntary commitment to increase recovery rates by 50% was one of the highlights of its just-released sustainability report for 2004. We're hoping the other big computer makers will sit up and take notice.
