Award Detail

This WRAP award is the latest in a series of recent awards for NetApps sustainability efforts, including the CPSC Infinity Arrow award and the SNW Best Practices award in the Energy Efficiency, Green Computing, and Data Center category.

NetApps corporate waste-management program is ISO 14001 certified and eliminates waste from landfills through reducing consumption, reuse, and recycling.

As a high-tech company, NetApp places special emphasis on recycling electronic waste (e-waste), both from operations and customers at a products end-of-life. This effort has diverted over 99%, or 2 million pounds, of potential e-waste from landfills since the start of the program.

In all, NetApp diverts more than 50% of all waste from landfills by using recycled, biodegradable, and/or compostable supplies throughout our offices and facilities.

NetApp also has a foam-densification process to reduce the large volume of packaging foams.
