Imagine huge junkyards full of rotting computers, just like the auto junkyards? Why don't we see them yet? One reason is that Sun Microsystems is leading the way in the reusing and recycling of old computers. Their unique product reuse program recycles, reclaims, and reuses both components and entire systems. Everybody wins: fewer resources are used, resources are diverted away from the waste stream and back into productivity, and Sun and its customers save costs. Parts that cannot be reused are broken down to the most basic elements and turned back into commodities. Doug Lowell is Senior Environmental Programs Manager in the corporate Environment, Health and Safety department at Sun Microsystems. His work focuses on product-related environmental public policy. He joined Sun in November 1999 following a 12-year career in environmental consulting, where he focused on air-quality and energy impacts of transportation.
