Sustainability in the tech world: what can we do?

Sustainability is something that businesses are starting to take very seriously. If they haven’t already, they’ll need to look into improving their sustainability credentials over the next few years, as the awareness of the climate crisis and imperative to adapt unsustainable business models grows. But what does sustainability look like in the context of the tech world? Generally speaking, sustainability can be looked at as a way of reducing carbon footprint, whilst improving overall efficiency. This could mean reducing the use of non-sustainable energy sources and switching over to alternative solutions, such as solar. It might also mean reducing the amount of waste produced, which can be achieved by businesses making small changes, like going paperless, improving the office recycling facilities etcetera.
