Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Compugen Finance Unveiled a Carbon-Neutral Computer

— May 30, 2019 — Eco
Compugen Finance recently announced a new carbon-neutral computer that helps minimize your ecological footprint. Compugen Finance is dedicated to environmentally responsible technology and has a Green4Good recycling division that has raised over $3.2 million for charity.

The company focuses on refurbishing and repurposing technology to decrease the demand and production of new technology, while limiting the amount of technology-related waste. “Customers who are buying refurbished devices are promoting re-use, which is great for the environment. Re-use extends the life of a device, which means fewer new computers need to be manufactured, and the CO2 that would have been released into the atmosphere during this process is no longer being generated,” explains Brent Smiley, Director of Information Technology Asset Disposition. To further reduce its carbon footprint, Compugen Finance includes carbon credits that offset environmental damage with every laptop sold.

With more innovative business ideas focused on sustainability, we can expect more carbon-neutral products in the future.
Trend Themes
1. Carbon-neutral Computers - Creating carbon-neutral computers can reduce the carbon footprint of businesses and individuals while promoting sustainable and environmentally responsible technology.
2. Technology Recycling and Refurbishing - Increasing technology recycling and refurbishing efforts can decrease the demand for new technology production and limit technology-related waste while generating charity funds.
3. Carbon Offsetting with Every Purchase - Including carbon credits that offset environmental damage with every product purchase can further reduce carbon footprints of businesses and individuals while creating incentives for sustainable product choices.
Industry Implications
1. Computer Hardware - The computer hardware industry has the potential to innovate carbon-neutral designs that reduce environmental impact while maintaining high performance standards.
2. Recycling and Waste Management - The recycling and waste management industry can promote eco-friendly technology refurbishing and repurposing programs that generate charity funds while reducing waste and carbon footprint.
3. Corporate Social Responsibility - The corporate social responsibility industry can assist businesses in implementing sustainable and environmentally responsible practices, including carbon-neutral product designs and carbon offsetting initiatives.
