Used monitors are worthless in Australia, but attract AU$10 per unit in the Philippines, Africa and Vietnam, but surprisingly China is not the biggest destination. One thousand monitors fit on a 40-foot container and MRI exports 20 of these per year.
"We export that as second-hand products but that gate will close over the next few months because our Asian neighbours are getting more discerning in their use of technology," said MRI's Le Messurier.

Nice photographs, Liam! Just so that there's no confusion, Dell doesn't claim to the 'greenest IT company in the world' but that IS what it is aiming to become. It's already made some significant steps in that direction including last year's commitment to becoming carbon neutral and the green technology design competition that opens this month (http://www.regeneration.org/) not to mention the free PC recycling service for consumers and small businesses that was the focus of our visit to MRI.
I started the New Year in a new role outside Dell but will always be very proud of the leadership the company has shown on sustainablity.
