Green technology is the study and practice of using computing resources efficiently.

The focus of green technology has three parts: reduce the use of hazardous materials, maximize product energy efficiency, and promote recyclability or biodegradability of products past their prime. Elements of a green technology initiative include end-user satisfaction, management restructuring, regulatory compliance, disposal of electronic waste, telecommuting, server virtualization, energy use, thin client solutions, and return on investment (ROI).
