The Transmeta Corporation is one of the top green companies for electronics and laptop micro processors around, and offer lower power consumption, better yield distributions, and fast conversions from SOI to bulk. They also pride themselves in offering the laptop recycling policies that have been outlined by the WEEE. This directive offers compliances for companies relating to electronics about electronic waste and how best to deal with the problem internally. This means that instead of the customer having to be held responsible for disposing of his or her laptop correctly, the manufacturer or company like Transmeta is held responsible. This will ensure that many more products are returned for recycling through the registered suppliers, or directly to the company. Many of the states in the US offer different policies and this can include a fee for recycling from the company or they can offer it for free.
Another system which works very well and will allow everyone to be part of the preservation of our environment is the rebate system. This means that companies like Transmeta have to pay out a certain amount when people bring back an old item to be recycled. They can also make partnerships with certain organizations where the laptops and other electronic goods can be donated if possible. This will ensure that very few products end up at the landfills where they can do damage and it will also provide the manufacturers and companies with a means of receiving cheap recycled plastics and glass for their new products.
