Electronics Environmental Benefits Calculator
The Electronics Environmental Benefits Calculator (EEBC) was developed to assist organizations in estimating the environmental benefits of greening their purchase, use and disposal of electronics.
- The EEBC is available to any organization interested in determining the benefits of their own electronics stewardship activities. It is a valuable tool for FEC Partners to calculate the environmental benefits of their FEC activities.
- The EEBC estimates the environmental and economic benefits of purchasing Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT)-registered products and improving equipment operation and end-of-life management practices.
- The current version of the EEBC evaluates electronics stewardship activities associated with desktop processors (CPUs), cathode ray tube (CRT) and liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors, and notebook computers. Additionally, the current version of the EEBC evaluates the benefits of reusing and recycling mobile telephones.
Instructions
The EEBC may be downloaded as an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet at the Center for Clean Products and Clean Technologies Web site. Additional information and instructions for using the EEBC are also available on the Center's Web site.
