[GreenYes] Planet Green: Eco-Tech: Zero Waste

["Nancy Poh" <greenbeingnancy@no.address>]

I think one of our members recommended watching the Discovery Channel programme "Planet Green: Eco-Tech" earlier.

When I heard on the show that eWaste can be recycled 100%, I did a search and discovered that there are indeed companies that observe the "0% Landfill E-waste Policy" or "100% landfill-free Recycling Policy".

Down in Australia, we have IT Liquidators. In New Zealand there is Telecom New Zealand Limited through their take back programme. However, their eWaste are recycled in India by Allied Electronic Recovery Worldwide (AER Worldwide).

Planet Green: Eco-Tech, is definitely a trendy programme to watch and if for some reasons you have missed it, Darryl Duffe (if he has the time) will be sharing his notes on each episode and post them on Sustainable WNC. 

Also, Earthwatch Institute has listed the non-profit environmental organizations and advocacy groups involved in this project. I am sure that you will be able to find more useful tips for a greener environment from the links to their partners' websites.
