IT Industry to Talk Recycling at Las Vegas Event

The Recycling Today Media Group is supporting a session at CompTIA Breakaway 2009 called “Best Practices for a Green IT Business.”

The session, open to all Breakaway 2009 attendees, is being organized by CompTIA’s Services & Support Executive Forum and will be hosted by John Mehrmann, president of Business Development for ZSL Inc.

Breakaway 2009 takes place 3-6 August at the Mirage Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

“Green IT represents an unprecedented opportunity to create new sources of revenue in all aspects of the product lifecycle, all while demonstrating corporate social responsibility and protecting the environment,” says Mehrmann.

The session will be designed to help attendees learn how to adapt their businesses to emerging recycling regulations, leverage the processes and use emerging technology for cost reductions and new sources of profit, according to Mehrmann.

Among topics to be discussed are minimizing carbon footprint for lower energy costs and introducing new channels for reuse and resale through the proper handling of products, parts and materials.

The session will help attendees “learn more about these practices and how to get in on the Green IT phenomenon,” says Mehrmann.
