Who is going the extra mile?

Mining rare earth metals and minerals, producing consumer electronics, operating huge datacenters, and keeping the office lights on eats up a lot of energy. Big tech companies know this–they’re the ones who get the bills for all the power they suck in.

The monetary cost of powering a big tech company, and sometimes the environmental cost as well, have driven a lot of tech companies to go green. Impetus aside, environmental sustainability is a noble cause not only on Earth Day, but all year round.

Here are 10 tech companies that have decided to go the extra mile toward being sustainable.

​Xerox

When you think of office waste there’s no more prominent image than copiers. Xerox seems to know this, which is why it does a lot for the environment.

Paper suppliers have to meet and maintain rigorous standards, Xerox factories are committed to recycling as much non-hazardous waste (currently reported at 93%) as possible, and Xerox factories and products are designed to waste less energy.
