Intel pushes its environmental initiatives mongabay.com May 23, 2007
Intel said the decision stems from concerns over the public health and environmental impact of lead use and is part of its initiative to become "greener". 'Intel is taking an aggressive stance toward environmental sustainability, from the elimination of lead and a focus on greater energy efficiency of our products to fewer air emissions and more water and materials recycling,' said Samir Al-Schamma, a general manager at Intel's Technology and Manufacturing Group.
A number of other tech companies -- including AMD, Apple Computer, Dell, IBM, Hewlett Packard, and Sun Microsystems -- have recently announced similar "green" initiatives, though Intel appears to be the first to ban lead. Comments? News options
