CEA Site Offers Gadget Finder, Disposal Info

  • October 11, 2011

The Consumer Electronics Association has launched a Web site dedicated to helping people find environmentally friendly gadgets and disposal options.

The site, www.greenergadgets.org, features an energy use calculator to help consumers understand their usage rates, as well as an electronics recycling locator to help them find the closest option when it comes to disposing of electronics equipment, which can be harmful to the environment.

 "We created GreenerGadgets.org so that consumers can understand how better to use their electronics products in eco-friendly ways," said Walter Alcorn, vice president of environmental affairs and industry sustainability, CEA, in a statement. "Many of the products on the market today are much more energy-efficient than their predecessors, and consumers need to be able to calculate their energy costs. Further, consumers need to know where to take their older products when they are ready to dispose of them. GreenerGadgets.org will provide these answers and more."
