Abstract
Energy consumption by Information and communications technologies (ICT) has
predominantly remained a major area of concern by the businesses around the
globe. Information technology (IT) products impact the environment,
significantly, in terms of energy usage, carbon emissions, hazardous
substances, accumulation, and disposition of electronic wastes. For instance;
desktop, laptops, networking hardware, storage, and datacenter facilities
consumes significant amount energy to operate and release the Greenhouse gas
