The company is also looking to address the environmental issues in Sri Lanka through new projects. The projects involve environmentally friendly motherboards and enhanced power efficiency through Gigabyte technology.
The company partnered with Dell, to implement an e-waste management system that will concentrate on areas like including labels on electronic items that can allow recycling so as to ensure that IT products are recyclable.
“Dell leads the industry by being the first to offer a free worldwide recycling program for consumers. The company also has an effective waste-management policy that helps to prevent the unauthorized dumping of electronic waste in developing countries by requiring that equipment be tested and certified as “working” prior to export and expanded their definition of electronic waste to include all non-working parts, irrespective of material composition.”
Dell also announced recently that they Ban the Export of Electronic Waste to Developing Countries. So it seemed fitting that in bringing this much needed change to how the local IT industry and users treat the environment, we team up with a company like Dell that has such a successful work-in-practice model from which we too could draw ideas and solutions,” reported the website quoting S.H.M. Rishan, chairman of PC House & its Group PCH Holdings.
PC House is looking to implement the new e-waste management initiative in Sri Lanka by the end of 2009. The companies intend to employ stringent, global recycling guidelines in order to dispose Dell PC waste in an environmentally responsible manner.
