This was done back in 1992 but still sets some good goals for today.
The document "Handbook for Environmentally Responsible Packaging in the
Electronics Industry" was written by a group of packaging engineers and
some local recyclers (me and Julie Fisher) here in Silicon Valley and
published for the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP). The WDC
based organization was afraid of some of the goals set in the guide and
froze publishing and advertising.
