The electronics industry has recognized the need to go green, the question next is: how do we do this, and how can we have the biggest impact? This panel explores the challenge of going green applied to the entire product lifecycle, from raw material, to manufacture, and use to reuse, recycling, or disposal. Examples of environmental initiatives of leading consumer electronics companies are highlighted, from material choices to take-back and recycling programs that address end-of-life and e-waste issues. Panelists identify opportunities that have the greatest potential for lowering our environmental impact, and the role of the consumer to bring about this change.
