Old computer equipment can now be disposed in a way that is safe to both human health and the environment thanks to a new initiative launched at a United Nations meeting on hazardous waste that wrapped up in Bali, Indonesia.
The Partnership for Action on Computing Equipment (PACE) will provide a forum for governments, industry leaders, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and academia to tackle the disposal of old computer equipment, including through global recycling schemes.
