With the increasing trend to indulge the daily life styles using technology and the ease to trade, learn and even shop using ecommerce, sustainable technology became the top concern of policymakers and everyone around. Sustainable IT or Sustainable technology refers to the responsible use of information technology to minimize its environmental impact and maximize its long-term sustainability. This involves implementing strategies and practices to reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and promote environmentally responsible decision-making within the IT industry. It encompasses a set of manufacturing, management, use, and disposal practices that aim to lower the environmental impact of the solutions and industry.

One of the major concern here is the e-waste. Leaving the Technological garbage or useless technological materials unattended at hoes, offices or workplaces that are putting a threat to rising e-pollution. E-waste is the most rapidly growing waste problem in the world. We generate about 50 million tons of it every year. This is equivalent to throwing out 1000 laptops every single second. In some places the amount of e-waste increases with 500 % in the years to come. The stats and figures are not only concerning but also alarming for the future of Earth.

Sustainable technology is focused on contributing to the aspects that can reduce climatic hinderances or minimize pollution that is contributing to the global climate health destruction. 

Sustainable Technology Aspects and Areas of Concern:

• Sustainable IT manufacturing involves various strategies and initiatives that aim to develop innovative approaches with a reduced environmental impact.
• Sustainable IT management concentrates on optimizing the operational or use phase of the IT lifecycle. This entails efficient asset management by organizations, the adoption of energy-efficient equipment, and the exploration of renewable energy sources.
• Sustainable IT disposal seeks to optimize the end-of-life stages, giving particular attention to the principles of the circular economy. 

       Sustainable IT is an essential component of broader environmental sustainability and responsibility initiatives within organizations. By adopting these practices and principles, businesses and individuals can reduce their carbon footprint, minimize resource consumption, and contribute to a more sustainable IT industry. 

The environmental impact can be reduced across the technology lifecycle using the strategic interventions:
