State Electronics Challenge

Collectively, state and local government purchase billions of dollars of technology equipment annually. This presents the opportunity to provide leadership while reducing costs through environmentally responsible management of electronic assets.

The State Electronics Challenge (SEC) encourages state, tribal, regional, and local governments, including schools and other public entities, to responsibly manage office equipment, by:

• Purchasing greener office equipment.
• Reducing the impacts of these products during use.
• Managing obsolete electronics in an environmentally safe way.

The SEC provides resources to assist organizations in the public sector, as well as private schools and colleges, who sign up as “Partners” to become leaders and address the challenges posed by electronics.
