GlaxoSmithKline Sheds 6 Tons of E-Waste
I had the pleasure to meet with Paul Baum and Ed Stukane from PlanITROI at IAITAM last year. Here they share their GSK case study.
It is good to see how Armin Jahromi, Service Development Manager at GlaxoSmithKline ‘sold the green’ and recruited a small crew of volunteers to salvage 6 tons of e-waste. The project enabled recycling and refurbishing of equipment – allowing GSK to reclaim $1.8M dollars (Not to mention electricity savings and reduction in carbon consumption). Responsible disposal ensured their equipment would not end up in a landfill.
The ITAM industry as a whole needs a lot more of these case studies!
If you have any additional resources to help build a business case for an iniative like this that you want to share please let me know.
