Nat’l Electronics Product Stewardship Initiative (NEPSI)
Goal is “the development of a system, which includes a viable financing mechanism, to maximize the collection, reuse, and recycling of used electronics, while considering appropriate incentives to design products that facilitate source reduction, reuse and recycling; reduce toxicity; and increase recycled content.”
Stakeholders: State/Local Govts., Manufacturers, Electronic Industries Alliance, Non-profits, Recyclers, Retailers

DfE Computer Display project Final Life-cycle assessment of impacts published December 2001
associated with cathode-ray tube (CRT) and liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors CRT monitor has greater impacts than the LCD monitor in all but two impact
categories (eutrophication and aquatic toxicity) Can lessen LCD environmental impacts by
Reducing energy consumption during manufacture Cutting back on the use of chemicals that pose aquatic toxicity risks or that
contribute to global warming (e.g., sulfur hexafluoride) Eliminating the use of mercury
LCD manufacturers working toward improving the environmental profile of their displays
