Green IT • The 3 colours of Green IT • Being Greener with IT, • Using IT to help you be a Greener Organisation, • Recycling and Disposal of Waste IT
The Green Value Chain • Our story begins in Japan:
Reduce Re-use Recover Recycle Not forgetting that the directive also asks to improve the environmental performance of equipment over its lifecycle The WEEE Directive
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) • A Cost • Cost to Handle • Cost to Process • Cost to Landfill • An Opportunity • A New Green Value Chain
The Learning Light Project • Training offenders in recycling Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) • Trialled in HMPs Wealstun and Everthorpe • In response to the Recycling Industry learning requirements
The Project • Set up workshops to carry out the disassembly of waste electrical and electronic equipment. • To skill up offenders to carry out these tasks using energy efficient techniques • To harness the power of e-learning to deliver the skills required • To offer a meaningful work experience • To provide a qualification for the learners
Leading to…. • Employment opportunities on release in an expanding market • Less likelihood of re-offending and incidentally…… • Major environmental benefits: • Carbon saving of: 450.2394tpa in a 4mth period An inkjet printer weighing 7kg reduced to 1g of waste to landfill
The Results • Enhanced learning experience • Increased ICT skills • Meaningful work while in prison • Understanding of environmental issues • Delivering almost 99% reuse or recycle • Massive savings in product sent to landfill • A work based qualification • Job opportunity in an industry set to expand exponentially
Delivering So Much More……….. Delivering So much more than a Tick in a Box WEEE Directive Reducing Re-offending Reuse Recover Recycle Employment Opportunity Less Waste To Landfill WEEE HM Prison Service Workshop Meaningful Work and Valuable Learning NVQ Recycling Operations (WEEE) / Accredited Learning CIWM & EU Skills
The Qualification • First of its kind • e-learning based • Maps an NVQ to a mandatory regulation • NVQ level 1,2 (and 3) mapped to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (The WEEE directive) • Delivers practical work based skills to meet a regulatory requirement by using e-learning and hands on work
Learning to Work • The e-learning delivers: • Health and safety • Team working • Understanding of the WEEE directive and environmental issues • Quizzes to test understanding
Learning to Disassemble • Practical techniques shown • Recognition skills – Plastics and Metals • Instructional modules: • Computer base stations • Printers • CRTs • Street Lighting
The Endorsement • Industry led learning • Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Wastes Management (CIWM) • Listed as part of the UK learning portfolio by Industry qualification awarding body WAMITAB • Supported by the industries technical steering group • Encouraged by DeFRA, WRAP, EU-Skills, NOMS and Yorkshire Forward
The Flexibility of the e-learning • Fully accessible – pictorial, text and audio • Letting learners control their own learning • Easily updated • Easy and cost effective to deploy • CD rom delivery • VLE/LMS delivery over the internet • PC or Thin client - intranet • SCORM compliant – meets all standards
The Learning • Developed with leading subject matter experts • e-learning – blended with workplace assessment • Very cost effective • The ‘e’ in e-learning is for ‘e’nvironmental
