What is Green IT and why is important?

What is Green IT? Why is it important?

Green IT is also known as green computing or eco-ICT and it aims at reducing the environmental impact of information technology systems as well as improving sustainability thanks to their use.

Green IT means not only reducing the carbon emissions generated when operating information technology systems but also reducing the use of dangerous materials such as lead, mercury and chromium as well as promoting recycling and refusing of old devices.

Finally, Green IT also means improving the business sustainability thanks to the use made of these systems. For example, a digital twin of a product can help a business to be much more efficient in the design process, leading to cost reductions up to 60% and improvements of up to 80% of the design time. Oh, and the final product will be of better quality too!
A more efficient business is using less energy and resources, so it is not only more profitable but also more sustainable!
