IBM

 BM believes environmental sustainability and profitability go hand in hand. Businesses, both large and small, that fail to tackle the present inefficiencies in IT are likely to see spiralling energy costs, draining profits and impacts upon brand image whilst businesses that see corporate social responsibility as a competitive differentiator can benefit from lower operational costs and increased appeal to consumers, employees and investors.

IBM is investing heavily in making its technology more efficient, less costly to run and less damaging to the environment than ever before. In 2007 IBM announced the 'Big Green' initiative - $1B invested each year to accelerate green technologies and services building a roadmap of solutions to enable our Business Partners to help clients address the IT energy crisis. Equally, IBM is using lessons learnt internally, leveraging over three decades of environmental policy, to advise its clients on ways to help restructure their business activities and reduce their overall carbon footprint.

Innovation, underpinned by new technologies, has a crucial role to play in resolving some of the major environmental issues of our times. The Victorian Government is working to support advanced ICT capabilities in Victoria to meet these challenges.

Already there are several ICT projects in which the Victorian Government is supporting leading edge technological developments with real-world environmental applications.

Leading-edge use of broadband through the Government’s Broadband Innovation Fund is supporting environmental projects in agriculture, climate change and natural resource management. Moreover, through the National ICT Australia (NICTA) Victoria Research Laboratory, world-leading commercial ICT solutions are being developed including the NICTOR wireless moisture sensors for regulating agricultural irrigation.

Alongside industry the Victorian Government is also delivering the Byteback program, offering Victorian households the chance to dispose of unwanted computers and other ICT products in an environmentally responsible way, with up to 97 per cent of materials recovered to be recycled or re-used.

Byteback is currently operating in Victoria only. Planet Ark's Recycling Near You website lists similar programs in other states.

Individuals and small businesses can deposit unwanted computer equipment at Byteback locations. There is a limit of 10 items per visit.

Byteback is an Australian first as government and industry are sharing responsibility for disposing of computer waste safely. Sustainability Victoria is running Byteback in partnership with the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) and founding partners Apple, Canon, Dell, Epson, Fujitsu, Fuji-Xerox, HP, IBM, Lenovo, and Lexmark.
