Abstract
Legislation is driving electronics companies to prepare for products for later recycling. The effort foreshadows a future in which most of the content of obsolete electronic products will be reclaimed. The author discusses the green port concept for being developed by a consortium of European electronic equipment manufacturers who are responding to proposed legislation. Through a green port installed in each product, a recycler can access information provided by the product's manufacturer: the material composition of its parts, the location of hazardous components and disassembly instructions. The author also discusses the concept of designing electronic equipment with recycling in mind.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
