Greening of Cisco

Welcome of their laptop lines are RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substance Standard) compliant. The RoHS standard seeks to reduce the use of manufacturing substances that harm human health or the environment.

Faced with the issue of an energy efficient data center, businesses are looking for ways to optimize their computing environments to the benefit of their bottom line and our planet. Vendor partners like IBM, HP and Cisco are also helping their customers understand their energy use through various tools and technologies.

The wireless industry has set tools like Recycle My Cell to make it easier for end-users to recycle their electronics. I invite you to learn about this program in our article on page 8 and consider becoming a drop off location. In addition to programs like this one, companies like HP have a commitment to the environment in their technology recycling program.

Additionally, starting on April 1st, Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) is launching a new Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) program. This program, mandated by the Waste Diversion Act has a goal of diverting 17,000 new tonnes of electronics in the first year of the program. It is important for all Ingram Micro Partners doing business in Ontario to understand these changes and read our coverage on page 10. Additional information can be found at the WEEE website.

We hope the information you find in this publication will help you in your green initiatives.

Green IT, at its most basic definition is the practice of using computing resources efficiently. But how can IT go green?

The simplest answer is through energy efficient hardware, in the materials used in the manufacturing process and through recycling of electronics and components at the end of their life cycle. In practice however, because IT systems are a complex mix of people, networks and hardware, it may be a bit more difficult. This is where the information you find in this publication and from Ingram Micro’s vendor partners like IBM, Toshiba, Cisco and HP are essential in building your green IT solutions.

Other ways for tech companies to go green are in their day to day business practices. This is how Ingram Micro is contributing to a greener planet. In the article Ingram Micro Goes Green you will learn about our company-wide initiatives that help with energy and resource use. In addition to our EPEAT membership, great strides have been taken to cut our consumption of energy and resources. I invite you to adopt any one of these initiatives within your business to help the planet and even your bottom line.

The tech industry has also been making great strides in their manufacturing processes with many computer companies phasing out harmful chemicals. Toshiba is just one of these companies. Some

GREEN IT! Spring 2009

Green IT! | Spring - 20094

When you think green, you don’t automatically think of IT or distribution. However, while both these industries were inefficient in energy and resource use in the past, great strides have been taken by Ingram Micro to become a greener company.

Ingram Micro is the world’s leading wholesale distributor of technology products, helping over 1,500 technology suppliers reach 170,000 customers. Ingram Micro has been a player in green IT for well over a year with its partnership with EPEAT (the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool managed by the Green Electronics Council) to define green PCs, notebooks and monitors. In addition to this company initiative, Ingram Micro has been looking at different ways to become an increasingly green company in its everyday Canadian operations.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle These three words perfectly describe the initiatives taken by Ingram Micro’s distribution centers. From reducing power and shipping materials, reusing pallets and recycling their waste, the distribution centers (DCs) have taken great strides in environmental responsibility.

Last year, the DCs recycled over 800 tonnes of cardboard and over 70,000 lbs of plastics, and reused over 50,000 pallets. These projects helped them divert a large quantity of products that would have normally been sent to the landfill. In addition, all associates are responsible for separating waste from recyclable products. The recyclable products are then compacted and baled.

Ingram Micro is also a non-peanut shipper. This environmentally bad shipping filler was phased out in March 2005. To protect products during shipping, Ingram Micro now uses recycled paper and air pillows. They offer the same protection, are more economical, and in the case of air pillows, cost much less to purchase and ship.

The DC associates are also exploring the use of recyclable plastics in all applications requiring plastics like wrapping pallets and air pillows.

“Even the boxes we use to ship are maximized” said Mike Abrams, Senior Director Canadian Distribution. “Our advanced front end data allows us to anticipate our shipping material needs and we are able to select the best box to use in shipping. This rationalization in our use of boxes is not only better for the planet; but we get the added benefit of savings in the shipping materials as well as the shipping itself.”

Ingram Micro is always looking at ways to become even greener. Additional initiatives include the further rationalization of shipping materials like using more eco-friendly shipping products such as envelopes instead of placing a box within a box.

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint One Light at a Time Ingram Micro, their landlord Orlando Corporation, and the local utility, Enersouce worked hand in hand to lower the lighting power costs. The Electricity Retrofit Incentive Program (ERIP),

an initiative of the Utility, is open to all business customers in Mississauga. This program’s goal is to encourage commercial, industrial, and institutional and agricultural customers to conserve energy by influencing equipment and lighting decisions in favour of the most electricity efficient options. Ingram Micro has been part of this program for over 2 years.

Initiatives, in addition to converting to much more energy efficient lighting, included retrofitting the light switches with motion detectors and having the warehouse lights relay-controlled to shut off after the last truck of the day.

In a large, busy distribution center like Ingram Micro’s, there are many conveyors being used at any time – a large energy draw. With rationalization made possible with state of the art warehouse management systems, and through great work with the staff, several of the conveyors are able to be turned off during non-peak periods. This enables Ingram Micro to save a substantial amount of energy and cost and has the added benefit of saving on the wear and tear on the equipment – saving the associated maintenance costs.

All these initiatives to conserve energy in the distribution center resulted in a 5% reduction in KW/H usage – a substantial saving for a distribution center of that size and volume.

In the administration offices located beside the DC, Ingram Micro, with the assistance of Orlando Corporation, has also been slowly replacing the 32 watt lighting systems to more energy efficient 25 watt fluorescent bulbs.

“If we were to change existing fluorescent lamps for more energy efficient lamps all at once, not only would we be paying a large project sum for the product and labour of replacement, but we would be arranging the disposal of perfectly functioning lamps also.” said Marcia Duncan, Facilities and Security Manager. “All in all, it made both green and financial sense to convert lamps as they expired, especially since we have a weekly scheduled lamp replacement program.”

Even computers are helping with reducing Ingram Micro’s energy usage. Associates are using LCD Monitors, which are extremely economical with power consumption. Their consumption is in the region of 25 -50 watts compared to a CRT which consumes from 60-80 watts for a 15” model to almost 70-150 watts for 17” and 19” models. Multiply this with the amount of monitors on at any time in Ingram Micro offices and this translates in to a substantial saving in energy. These initiatives to cut power, while seemingly small, have all contributed in reducing Ingram Micro’s power usage - helping the planet…and the bottom line.

The Little Things Ingram Micro’s initiatives in reducing waste extends to the associates daily rituals. All coffee stations use re-usable ceramic mugs instead of disposable Styrofoam cups. To make this switch practical, dishwashers were installed at coffee stations for cleaning of the cups. In addition, sugar is provided in 5 pound bags and placed in reusable containers instead of individual packets.

Wondering about the non-coffee drinkers? Reverse osmosis water systems installed at coffee stations help to reduce use of bottled water packaging. These simple changes result in a substantial reduction in waste. In washrooms, the size of each hand towel sheet was reduced by 1%, from 14.5” to 13” to reduce waste. “The smaller sheet size is not noticed by the associates but saves a large amount of paper over the course of the year” states Duncan.

Initiating Paperless Systems Invoicing of vendors and customers is also going green at Ingram Micro. In addition to the obvious green benefits of not printing

out and mailing invoices, there are multiple benefits to an e-billing system.

“Approximately 90% of our customers prefer to receive their invoices by email” said Tanya Moller, Accounting Manager, Ingram Micro. “Sending the invoice electronically, with a scanned proof of performance, also gives us the possibility to send it to multiple contacts. This means we don’t get “I didn’t get the invoice” excuse – all invoices can now be tracked.”

In an effort to reduce paper use, Ingram Micro is in the final trials of an electronic invoice manager for our resellers. This system would enable opt-in access to invoices for viewing and printing and would include the possibility to download the invoice directly into their own accounting systems as PDFs, further reducing their filing requirements. More details on this system will follow with an official announcement.

Ingram associates are also encouraged to go paperless with their pay stubs. Ceridian offers, through Canada Post’s e-post system, Ingram Micro associates the option to receive their pay stubs in e-format, perfectly mirroring the paper copy they are used to receiving. What Can You Do? “As a solution partner of Ingram Micro, you can make an impact on your eco footprint as well by simply changing one or two things in your operation - simple things like energy efficient lighting in your offices, opting for electronic invoices or even selecting a distributor that is committed to reducing their environmental footprint, a partner like Ingram Micro” says Mark Snider, Vice President and General Manager Canada. “Our commitment to the environment extends from greening our own operation to educating our partners on ways to go green via publications like this one and our websites.”

While each initiative in Ingram Micro’s green plan may seem insignificant on its own, in combination with the others, they made a substantial impact on reducing the carbon footprint of the company.

Canada’s wireless industry has launched Recycle My Cell, a new web portal designed to make it even easier for Canadians to recycle their old cell phones. The goal of this national program is to raise awareness of the importance of recycling cell phone handsets to keep them from ending up in a landfill. Just as important, the proceeds from the recycled wireless devices go to benefit local and national charities.

The free program incorporates numerous existing cell phone recycling initiatives from across the country and is organized by the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (CWTA) in conjunction with cell phone service providers, handset manufacturers and recycling companies.

“Canada’s wireless companies have long been leaders in developing green business strategies,” said CWTA President and CEO Bernard Lord. “The new Recycle My Cell program further illustrates that thinking green doesn’t need to be complicated, yet the results can have a major impact on protecting our environment and enriching the communities in which we live.”

Finding one of Canada’s more than 3,500 cell phone recycling drop-off locations is simple. Users enter their postal code at www.RecycleMyCell.ca or call 1-888-797-1740 for more information. A list of the 10 closest cell phone recycling drop-off sites is generated by the site. If it’s impossible to visit one of these drop-off locations in person, the Web site provides a postage-paid label that can be printed, as well as instructions for clearing your device of all personal data before you send it away.

Cell phones, smartphones, pagers, aircards, batteries, chargers and accessories are all accepted at the depot locations.

After the device is received, it is sent to a recycling plant where it is either taken apart for scrap or is refurbished. Proceeds from the sale of refurbished phones and scrap materials are donated to numerous national and local charities. All of the recycling companies involved with the Recycle My Cell program are ISO 14001:2004 certified, meaning they have an environmental management system in place which ensures accountability and knowledge of the associated environmental impacts.

Everyone has at least one piece of technology they no longer use. Most of us have relegated an old computer, mobile phone, VCR, mouse or other electronic item to the basement, the attic, or a junk drawer. When upgrading to a faster, smaller or better model, others choose to simply put their old tech in the trash.

With more than 140,000 tonnes of electronic equipment accumulating in Canadian landfills each year, and that number expected to triple by 2010, electronics have become the fastest-growing and potentially most hazardous component of municipal waste. As a result, governments are increasingly looking at ways in which end-of-life electronics can be safely and cost-effectively diverted from municipal landfills.

What can you do? With most electronic products there are two options: Reuse or Recycle. Reusing the technology is easy – donate it to a school, non-profit organization for their use or resale; giving it to a student; selling it on an auction site like eBay; selling it at a yard sale. While reusing our old PC is the ideal scenario for the short-term, there is still the issue of disposing the electronic equipment when it is no longer usable or needed. Ultimately, we need to think of how to dispose of the product at the end of its life.

The obvious way to dispose of end-of-life electronics is to recycle them. This may seem simple to do, however watchdog groups report that as much as 50 to 80 per cent of North American end-of-life electronics are sent to recycling centers in parts of Asia, where only the valuable pieces are reclaimed and the rest being discarded, ultimately polluting water, air and land.

To make a difference, you need to do your homework and ask the following questions before choosing the recycler for your unwanted electronic and computer products:

• Whatdoyoudowithproductscollected? • Whathappenstothematerialonceyou

dismantle or shred the products that you collect? • Howdoyoudeterminewhoyousendtheseparated

13 Questions Before Choosing a Technology RecyclerGabriel Roy

Green IT! | Spring - 200910

Individual consumer or industrial, commercial or institutional users of electronics are often unsure of what to do with unwanted electrical and electronic equipment.

The Ontario Electronic Stewardship’s (OES) new Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) program will make it easier for stakeholders to make the right decision that is best for the environment and that will keep old computers, televisions and other electronics out of landfill.

Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) is a not-for-profit organization formed by leading retail, information technology and consumer electronics companies to implement the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Program Plan under the Waste Diversion Act.

The WEEE program will include multiple phases. The Phase 1 Plan addresses desktop and portable computers, computer peripherals, monitors, printers, fax machines and televisions. A plan for second phase materials, such as phones, cameras and audiovisual equipment, will follow.

In the first year of WEEE, which begins April 1, 2009, the target is to divert 17,000 new tonnes of electronics like computers, monitors, printers, disk drives, keyboards, mice, fax machines and televisions

from landfill. At the end of five years, the diversion target is 75,000 tonnes or 60 per cent of available materials.

The first priority of the program is to promote the 3Rs solutions (reduce, reuse and recycle). Residents and businesses will be encouraged to take electronics that are still useful to reuse and refurbishment organizations. Electronics that are at the end of their useful life will be directed to recycling/processing facilities that will be required to

meet strict environmental, health and safety standards to ensure these materials don’t find their way into the environment.

Ingram Micro’s role within this program is that of Steward and Remitter.

As of April 1, 2009, all Stewards will be required to report on the type and quantity of EEE they supplied into the Ontario marketplace. If a customer is not eligible to administer the program independently Stewards like Ingram Micro will be responsible for charging the customer directly. Stewards will then be required to remit the collected fees to the Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES).

To assist resellers, Ingram Micro sales staff has been informing their customers on the implication of this new fee and on their responsibilities within this program. To help smaller retailers that are not eligible to administer this program, Ingram Micro will collect the fees and remit them to the program on their behalf.

Collected fees will be used by OES to operate the WEEE program, including the collection, transporting and processing costs of WEEE.

For more information, resellers can consult the OES web site located at http://www.ontarioelectronicstewardship.ca/
