Ingram Micro Helps Dealers ID 'Green' Goods

By Staff On Sep 4 2008 - 6:00am

Ingram Micro launched a service to help resellers identify "green" electronics products.

The distributor's North American arm has updated its product database to include information from nonprofit Green Electronics Council's Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) rating system, which evaluates desktop computers, notebooks and monitors based on 51 environmental performance criteria and gives them bronze, silver or gold rankings.

Jeff Omelchuck, executive director for the Green Electronics Council and EPEAT program manager, said Ingram Micro is the first distributor to partner with EPEAT.
