PRODUCT LONGEVITY OF GREEN COMPUTING

Product longevity plays an important role in all the stages of the life of a product—right from design to the end-of-life phase. The longer a product is in use, the fewer the numbers of that particular product that need to be created as well as disposed of.

As natural resources are already limited and fast depleting, it is imperative for companies to develop and create products which possess higher longevity in their green initiatives in order to ensure sustainability in the long run. Product longevity helps in ensuring the intelligent utilization of resources in the manufacturing of products and solutions. E-waste is a growing global issue as millions of computers are discarded into landfills and many raw materials used in their manufacture like lead, cadmium, mercury and chromium are harmful if they seep into the soil and groundwater. Therefore, a well made product would last longer than a less durable one that needs to be replaced sooner.
