Sustainability innovations will drive the next generation of change for the ICT industry and potentially all other sectors of the economy. The impact of living in a low-carbon economy creates new challenges for society. While we know that ICT contributes to an ‘always on world,' and while the benefits of technology are far-reaching, the amount of energy required to keep our technological devices functioning increases each year. Similarly, lower production costs and rapid technological advancements mean that consumers and businesses upgrade products more frequently, creating new recycling challenges.
