  1. Progress of Electronics Stewardship at Sandia National Laboratories June 5, 2007 Ralph Wrons Pollution Prevention Program Coordinator Sandia National Laboratories, NM Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company,for the United States Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.

  2. Sandia National Laboratories • Multi-program Security Laboratory • NM & CA Sites, about 7M GSF • Non-proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons • Critical energy infrastructures • Homeland security • Collaborates with industry, universities & other government agencies to commercialize new technologies • http://www.sandia.gov/

  3. Purpose • FEC Partner goals • Purchasing • Operations • Disposal • Current Efforts

  4. FEC Partner Goals: 2006 • Joined February 2006 • First year goals: • Vendors supply equipment with “Sleep” feature enabled • “Sleep” features enabled on 100% of existing monitors • Default to 2-side printing at copiers and network printers(ongoing) • Recycle 100% of non-reusable computers

  5. FY06 purchases: $34.4M ($67M in FY05) Estimated in service: 20,000 desktop systems (6300 desktops purchased in FY06) 5000 laptops 4000 additional monitors 30 months lifetime Estimated consumption: ~13M kWh/yr, ~$518,000 Estimated impact – purchase, operations and disposal

  6. Purchasing • CRTs out, LCDs in – Energy Star compliant • FY06: Spent over $7.5 million to purchase: • 2,822 desktop systems, 989 laptops, and additional 602 monitors, all of which are registered as EPEAT-Silver • Preference for EPEAT Bronze or higher in JIT computer contract language

  7. “Green” Printer matrix • Complementary to EPEAT, customized to SNL/NM • Trial basis at this point • Entry per product, scored by supplier • “Binary” scoring system for green features: • Energy Star • Blue Angel • Duplexing • Network capable • Higher score means green choice • Qualifying scores and an icon to be added to vendor catalog entries

  8. Energy Star enabled • Network-based enterprise delivery of Common Operating Environment (COE) software programs • Immense savings on (no delivery of) boxed manuals and software • At end of FY06, deployed new program to activate “sleep” features on network-connected monitors • Within first week, 9300 computer stations impacted • Estimated 12,000 monitors were finally changed • To raise awareness, several internal e-newsletters sent to give details on enabling and estimated savings.

  9. Instructions to saveenergy and paper • Fact sheet distributed to department secretaries • Energy Star • Duplexing • Recycling of consumables

  10. Reuse & Recycling • 104,700 pounds reused or recycled during the FEC Electronics Reuse and Recycling Campaign (ERRC). • Two separate shipmentsto an approved e-wasterecycling vendor • 76 pallets of CPU’s • Receive certificate of destruction

  11. Partnering • (This week) New tent will be installed at our Reapplication Services yard. • Developed an MOA and an associated procedures document

  12. Staging area for electronics prior to recycle House other P2 initiatives: Toner Exchange Office Supply reuse area LCDs for CRTs, for energy savings Building materials recycling New Tent

  13. FEC Partner Goals: 2007 • Evaluate total cost of ownership for new purchases • Establish & promote policy to power off PCs when employees go home • Reuse or refurbish 25% of equipment • Drawn from FEC annual award criteria • Seeking a 2007 Bronze or Silver award

  14. Path Forward • Develop an FEC fact sheet for internal awareness & training • Pursue 16 objectives listed in FEC annual award criteria that were evaluated to be “achievable” • An additional 10 objectives “require further investigation” for feasibility • Contract for e-waste recycling • New Energy Star designated equipment

  15. Copiers are Printers too • 10 Copiers enabled as network printers • Pre-existing capabilities not being used • Pursuing fax and scan-to-email options • Objective: reduction of equipment fleet • 450 copiers site-wide is long-term objective

  16. Partnering for improved Electronics Stewardship 2007 DOE NNSA P2 Environmental Stewardship Award for Electronic Stewardship
