Update: Green Battery Breakthroughs

March 18th, 2013

Due to the nature of our business, CRE has a much bigger “battery footprint” than many other firms—think of our iPad rental inventory alone! Today’s Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries power more and more devices daily, while depending for their production on ever-decreasing supplies of such mined metal ores as cobalt. In fact, 30% of the world’s total cobalt supply is already used in battery manufacturing. Clearly, the world needs more green energy of every kind, and recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology should hasten the arrival of an honest-to-goodness, paradigm-shifting green battery. Here are three potential game-changers.

Plant power

A natural plant dye extracted from the roots of the madder plant, purpurin is the unlikely basis for an entirely new kind of “green” battery. Chemists and researchers from Rice University, City College of New York, and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory reported on a purpurin-powered, non-toxic, sustainable lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery in the journal Nature‘s online, open access publication Scientific Reports in December 2012.

Research continues into other organic molecules’ potential for batteries, but the work is far more complicated than the simple, high-school-level chemistry process for purpurin. An affordable, long-lasting (say, 12-18 hours of movies on tablet PC rentals), and “seriously green” Li-ion battery is still a few years down the line, factoring in time to optimize purpurin’s efficiency and/or synthesize similar compounds. It is “definitely going to happen,” say the Rice University scientists.

Power walk

Among Physics World magazine’s top innovations of 2012 is a breakthrough battery that charges itself. Developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT), the battery converts kinetic energy (motion) into chemical energy. You could produce energy for your MacBook, camera, or phone by walking with the battery in your shoe, for instance. We’ve blogged about similar technologies, but until this new approach was developed, kinetic energy (motion) would be converted into electricity first, then into chemical energy for storage. The new method converts motion directly into stored chemical energy.

This new technology is five times more efficient than previous systems, significantly shrinking the size and weight of the manufactured battery. It can easily be used in all types of devices, and its (projected) super long life makes it perfect for motherboard duty (you know that your iMac or PC has a battery or two, right?). The new battery doesn’t generate much electricity yet, but researchers claim the first retail-ready product will be roughly equivalent to today’s 1.5V units.

Jammin’ with jelly

Ian Ward, a professor at the UK’s University of Leeds, has invented a new polymer gel (a.k.a. jelly) that will enable the creation of a new kind of lithium battery—lighter, cheaper, and more efficient than existing types. A simple, low-cost process turns the gel into flexible, thin film that will lie between a battery’s electrodes, dispensing with the usual multiple cells separated by polymer film. Ward told IT Pro magazine that the weight and size reductions alone made the new technology a winner, but mentioned two additional benefits—the new batteries are safer than the old ones, and cost about 10% as much to make.

Since they have no liquid electrolytes, the new batteries can’t explode and thus can’t start any fires. Even a first-rate, “certified green” firm like Hewlett-Packard can get blindsided by battery trouble. In 2010 the company recalled over 50,000 batteries after a few burst into flames (and into the headlines). The electrolyte liquid is what you see burning in YouTube videos of “flaming PCs,” so replacing it with the new polymer gel will vastly improve safety. Eventually, of course, all of this R&D will lead to safe, cheap, all-solid-state batteries.

Who’s the Greenest of Them All?

March 8th, 2013

The United Nations General Assembly, in December 2010, officially named 2012 the “International Year of Sustainable Energy For All” since worldwide sustainable development means ensuring “access to modern affordable energy services in developing countries.” The 2012 International Green Awards adopted the UN’s theme for its own awards given in categories from colleges and city governments to different kinds of businesses.

In fact, various organizations around the world, both private and public, investigate, rate, and report on the green behavior and policies of government agencies, businesses, utilities, and other institutions. The Green America Awards are given to a broad range of green leaders in the U.S. Many of these leaders are businesses, especially technology companies, as they were very early adopters of “greening” methods. CRE didn’t waste time, either; our Green Statement has been publicly displayed for years.

2012 Newsweek Green Rankings

In 2009, Newsweek started analyzing the 500 biggest U.S. firms “to find…the most eco-friendly” ones, of all kinds. Interestingly, although tech firms have dominated the rankings for three years now, it hasn’t been headline-grabbing boutique brands like Apple that have excelled the most, but manufacturers of un-sexy but potent, efficient, cost-effective, and green workstations that populate our own desktop PC rental inventory.

Newsweek developed its approach with the help of “an advisory panel of corporate sustainability experts” and claims that its rankings are “the most comprehensive.” We’ve blogged about the Newsweek ratings before, noting how the “Green Rankings reward firms that save energy and eliminate waste.” The 2012 Newsweek Green Rankings honor the 15 greenest companies. The complete list is available below, with the experts’ analyses of the winners’ accomplishments.

CRE’s very business model is built on the green principle of shared technological capabilities, on providing leading-edge, productive, and empowering technologies without massive capital outlays or waste. From trade show convention rentals to high-power post-production gear, CRE has the right technology. One call to (877) 266-7725, a message, or a visit to our Quick Rental Quote form is all it takes!

A Summary of the Top 5
GREEN RANKINGS 2012: AMERICA’S GREENEST COMPANIES
by Newsweek (link to original slideshow with all 15 scores and analyses)

1. IBM (Green Score: 82.9) — The venerable tech giant was singled out for its money- and resource-saving “Smarter Planet” products.

2. Hewlett-Packard (Green Score: 78.5) — HP has lowered overall corporate emissions over 50% since 2005.

3. Sprint Nextel (Green Score: 77.5) — Sprint is on track to recycle nine out of every 10 devices that it sells within four years.

4. Dell (Green Score: 77.1) — An amazing 98 percent of Dell’s ” nonhazardous by-products” are recycled.

5. CA Technologies (Green Score: 77.1) — Within 18 months, the company will derive fully one-quarter of its electric power from renewable energy sources.

Here Comes More Clean, Green Power

December 20th, 2012

Anthony Mutua, a 24-year-old Kenyan, invented a shoe-powered charger that is at once a great advance in “green” power and a declaration of independence from traditional electric utility infrastructure. Insert the slim crystal chip into your soles and it produces electricity from pressure, sending it to a phone or iPad rental via a thin cord. Mutua says the product will last three years, and plans to sell it for under $50.

Tom Krupenkin and Ashley Taylor, engineering students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have developed a different version of “in-shoe power generation” that harvests thermodynamic energy (body motion and, again, footsteps). Their company, InStep NanoPower, is moving forward quickly, with the device shipping sometime in 2013. This system could one day produce enough power for you to rent laptops and never plug them in anywhere else.

More “personal” energy ideas

CRE, already committed to green principles, encourages responsible activity in both private life and business. Alternative energy sources, as well as more efficient use of current ones, holds out great promise for a truly sustainable future. Further, the more people that go “off the grid” to personally power their mobile devices, the better. Here are a few other green-power solutions being developed on the “personal scale” for everything from tablet PC rentals to phones:

Capturing sonic energy—Sound vibrations (we hope their Good Vibrations) are converted to usable electricity by a piezoelectric component in a mesh fabric, as demonstrated at the UK’s Glastonbury Festival in 2012. T-shirts with a “piezo pocket” kept concert-goers’ phones charged up while the music kept the people charged up.

Soaking up Old Sol—Solar panels on backpacks (Ralph Lauren) and other form factors (like Vivian Muller’s Electree) are effective alternatives if you live in a sunny clime. If you keep your MacBook or PC charged up this way, you can “piggyback” your cell phone and charge it via your laptop’s USB port, too.

Using your head (and legs)—A German firm, Silverback, has debuted its line of “Starke” bicycles that will charge your devices as you pedal. Their marketing materials refer to “long rides” a few times, so this solution is for veteran bikers, not noobs. If you’re not charging, say, your cell phone on that “long ride” to the office, the power will not be wasted—it’ll keep the headlight battery charged, so you’ll never buy another. Win-win-win!

Worldwide, the need for connectivity keeps growing, including third world nations where power sources are undependable, scarce, or nonexistent. For those in advanced nations, personal-scale solutions like the Starke bikes encourage exercise while reducing energy demand. CRE will keep you posted on alternative energy sources as part of our “green technology” coverage—check it out, there’s great information there!

We have the right information, the right gear and the right people to help you with everything from event production rentals to mountains of mass storage. A single call or e-mail, or a trip to our Quick Rental Quote form, will get it done. We’re ready when you are—like now!

Marketing Is Greener Now, Too

November 29th, 2012

“Everything is everything” started out as a New Age nostrum about universal interconnectedness and quickly turned into a self-parody, losing all meaning until the modern environmental movement revived it. Now the phrase is a simple reminder that, yes, all things in creation are connected. That means today’s businesses need a strategy—a “sustainable” one, like CRE’s own—to address environmental concerns about… everything! That means your marketing efforts, too.

We’ve blogged quite a bit about “green matters” (here’s a recent one), but there are really just five major environmental factors businesses must contend with. About equally important, these areas are Technology, Demography, Politics, Sociocultural, and Economics. It’s much more involved than just knowing the recyclable components in your iMac, and you have to work to stay informed. Here’s a good start for you.

Technology has as much impact on businesses as anything else (usually more). Today even small companies can afford a global reach with the Internet, powering their promotions with low-cost, high-performing gear like custom Desktop Computer rentals and other cost-effective tech. Better research is a tech benefit, too, yielding highly targeted SEO instead of loosely targeted signs, brochures, and other printed materials.

Demography is the study of age, ethnicity, gender, and everything else that helps define human beings (especially in their consumer role). Around the world, as well as within countries, businesses still must consider various ethnic groups as well as generational ones like “baby boomers” and “Gen X,” along with more focused ones like “science-fiction lovers” or “pet owners”. The shift toward inbound marketing, plus the growing number of young and savvy consumers, means socially aware campaigns perform better. Younger people also drive the acceptance of touch technology like our LCD touchscreen monitor rental—and all the tablets people are poking.

Politics matters everywhere, with taxes, regulations, and labor laws being major costs for businesses globally (affecting consumer spending power, too). While traditional business plans tend to minimize startup costs, it’s far wiser to develop sustainable and ethical approaches right out of the gate. This helps manage long-term costs, since “technoprogress” brings advances in efficiency, too. Politically aware planning will help businesses contend with regulations that increase as nations grow (a) more environmentally aware and (b) wealthier.

Sociocultural factors vary from nation to nation, and within them, too. Whether in their home market or abroad, companies must be aware of dominant religions, local attitudes toward the environment, and other strongly held beliefs. But wherever you are, marketing technology for events—like business technology for the office—can be rented and reused, making a MacBook Pro rental a top example of “green” computing.

Economics affect all companies and their marketing efforts, because interest rates, inflation, and unemployment are important “general business health” indicators. You don’t need one of our plasma display rentals to advertise those facts in huge letters—everyone knows times are tough. But working smarter and harder means increased efficiency standards, thus less energy, time, and money wasted.

If your survival depends on first-rate trade show convention rentals and high-end post-production technology, the solutions are one call or e-mail away. If you know what you need, head to our Quick Rental Quote page and get in and out fast!

Simple, Innovative Tips to Greening your Conference

August 16th, 2012

Modern buildings are among the largest single contributors to greenhouse emissions. In the U.S., as much as 40% of the total CO2 released annually comes from office buildings, homes and other structures. And everything’s involved from the kinds of materials being used to the upgradability of the installed systems, as well as every imaginable environmental impact.

So when buildings house conference centers and those start filling up with attendees and exhibitors, who start plugging in plasma display rentals and digital signage, we are presented with yet another opportunity to think and act “different”. We’ve blogged many times on green conferences and technology, and today we’re hitting some of the major points do some simple, innovative conference greening of your own.

Location

Choose centrally located conference centers with a number of hotels and restaurants incorporated or within walking distance.
Note nearby stores for basic things conference-goers always need.
Ensure that enough hotels and other nearby businesses offer free WiFi, as you will rely on it to communicate with team members via smart phones, iPads, tablet PC rentals or their own laptops.

Transportation & Logistics

Encourage people to walk, use public transportation and car pool.
Coordinating transportation for attendees can be a huge undertaking, so contact an event transportation specialist if you need help.

Registration & Communication

Codify your commitment to sustainability, as CRE did with its corporate Green Statement, by posting your policy on the conference website.
Use e-mail and web-based forms for registration and attendance tracking of conference-goers, as well for communicating with both vendors and support staff.
For agendas, program materials and other giveaways, reduce or eliminate paper, ink and printing processes by distributing them online, via WiFi at the conference, on a CD or copied to a flash drive sporting the company logo.

Presentations, Meetings & Meals

Devise a recycling program within the meeting venue itself, starting the very first day, then promote it continuously.
Use only energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly office equipment rentals, if any.
Meals: Use no disposable items, not even napkins, to eliminate paper waste – and serve water only on request.

Consider enlisting the help of reputable event production experts such as CRE Rentals to ensure the best possible results. A single call or e-mail, or a visit to our Quick Rental Quote form, will get you what you need so you can get back to “greening” your conference. Call now!

Green Tech Update

March 6th, 2012

The green movement is no longer a fringe phenomenon, but a mainstream business strategy and lifestyle choice. One study shows that 56% of Americans are willing to pay a premium for green electronics that use less energy and are easily recycled. Thus, saving energy while reducing waste is a goal for manufacturers of tech devices, from the high-powered render farms that media professionals rely on, to new laptops that weigh (and cost) less all the time.

A comprehensive “green tech strategy” is unique for every product, addressing energy, cost, waste and sustainability in all phases of its life – R&D, design, manufacturing, marketing and sales, usage and disposal/recycling. Lenovo’s new ThinkPad laptops, for instance, use 10-25% recycled plastic. Apple products, from the entire Macintosh line to CRE’s popular iPad rentals, are designed with great attention to raw materials, advanced manufacturing techniques and easy recycling.

Multiple solutions

Companies are creating both hardware and software solutions. New energy-efficient desktops can run on one-third of the power a four-year-old PC requires. Intel’s new chips are more powerful without using more energy, like the one that appears destined for an updated Mac Pro. There are various methods for keeping computers in low-energy mode until users need more “juice” for tough tasks.

Even mundane products like office equipment rentals get the energy-smart treatment. Hewlett-Packard and other firms are making great progress with printers, scanners and “all-in-ones” that snap out of sleep mode quickly when needed, then go back to snoozing until needed again. Various new energy sources and strategies are being studied, but the best ways to reduce the overall eco-impact of computing are common sense and low-tech:

plug computers, monitors and printers into a single power strip and turn them off when not in use;
set your monitor to darken during inactivity, not run a bright, watt-hungry light show;
keep air slots unblocked, don’t let dust build up inside your PC and “keep it cool” computer-wise; and
extend the useful life of high-tech devices with proper care and maintenance.

We’re getting there

Tech firms need to consider environmental impact when crafting IT solutions and developing products for long, useful lives. Whether it’s a specialized Xserve RAID or something as common as a PC desktop computer rental, when high-tech devices reach the end of their usefulness, manufacturers and retailers work together to ensure that reusable components are properly reclaimed and recycled. Cradle to grave environmental responsibility? Not quite, but we’re getting there!

CRE takes its commitment to the environment seriously, the same way we take every customer question, concern or need. Got a conference coming up where you need to make a big splash with big plasma display rentals? Need some energy-efficient iMac rentals for that new project? One call or e-mail puts an experienced Account Executive on the job for you. If you know what you need, visit the Quick Rental Quote form and be on your way in minutes!

Hollywood: Greenest of Them All?

November 1st, 2011

Hollywood: Greenest of Them All? Hollywood has been “talking the green talk” in movies and TV shows for some 30 years now, promoting sustainability, energy savings and green ideals like CRE’s all the while. Like any other group of people, of course, not all of them practiced what they preached, and critics still claim that Hollywood productions are plagued with waste and overspending.

With today’s economic challenges, cutting waste by going green is a perfect strategy for a Hollywood that already drives Priuses, eats granola, recycles and loves Apple’s iMac (because it’s green and insanely great). By adopting sustainable production techniques and rejecting waste and excess, is Hollywood now becoming the greenest of them all?

Hollywood Greens get organized

The Environmental Media Association (EMA) started its Green Seal program in 2003. EMA’s president, Debbie Levin, called on some of her board members – actors Wendy Malick and Ed Begley, Jr., producer Bill Gerber, Fox chief Kevin Reilly and others – to come up with energy-saving, waste-reducing ideas that would do some good “without driving the crews crazy.” They did so, establishing a comprehensive EMA best practices guide that continues to evolve to this day.

The EMA guide essentially walks production crews through a detailed process of “greening” their shows, covering everything from set construction to computerized reporting. As experts in post-production, computers, audiovisual equipment rentals and event production services, CRE knows that part of the “green solution” is energy-saving technology. Another important part, of course, is how you use it.

Wide-ranging changes

The general goal of “going green” means cutting inefficiencies, reducing waste and designing sustainable systems, and Hollywood set managers started making changes. Every department and every production step was up for greening – post-production, too, where the efficient use of render farms saves time and money (especially if you rent render farm). Some changes were obvious, some were subtle, but they showed a comprehensive approach that still continues:

Construction chiefs are now sourcing sustainably-harvested lumber and using alternative power sources where possible.

Shooting scripts use many reams of paper and are typically sent via messenger to sets on a daily basis, but tablet PC rentals are just one of the paperless solutions to this distribution challenge.

From actors to electricians, everyone’s drinking bottled water on set, so installing water filtration systems for people with reusable containers is a no-brainer.

“Craft services” (food providers) produce huge amounts of garbage that is compostable (perishable foods) and other trash that should be compostable paper (plates, cups) but are typically plastic and Styrofoam. Our iPad rental can be outfitted with apps showing you how to calculate the quantities, order the compostable supplies and add the resulting waste to your compost heap.

Apple’s ever-greener Mac Pro features the latest, greatest, greenest technology yet, with similar energy-saving changes showing up in PC desktop computer rental inventory. One call or e-mail – or a few clicks on our Quick Rental Quote page – will put an expert Account Executive on the job for you, crafting the perfect “green” solution for your unique challenges.

High-Tech Eco-Heroes: The 2010 Green Rankings

October 18th, 2011

Newsweek magazine’s second annual Green Rankings for 2010 rates the most environmentally conscious, least wasteful companies in America. For the second time (the list started in 2009), the rankings were dominated by technology firms, which took eight spots in the top 10. The Green Rankings reward firms that save energy and eliminate waste, with a company’s “green score” being a weighted average of three “subscores” that quantify green policies, environmental impacts and company reputation.

High-Tech Eco-Heroes: The 2010 Green Rankings

New for 2010 is an additional assessment of corporate transparency, that is, how much data each firm discloses about its environmental policies, procedures and programs. CRE’s own Green Statement makes clear our own commitment to transparency, sensible stewardship and sustainability, and we feel it’s important to recognize the great work of other high-tech firms. So, who’s the greenest of them all?

Who’s on first?

Computer maker Dell won the #1 spot on the second annual Green Rankings with such strong and innovative environmental policies as free product recycling worldwide and a strict ban on exporting e-waste to developing nations. At #2 this time, and the 2009 winner, is Hewlett-Packard, whose energy-efficient models are well represented among CRE’s PC desktop computer rentals.

Like Dell, #2 HP brings its new, clean, future-oriented thinking to bear on all facets of its business. So, while warm, fuzzy, feel-good ads might interest some potential customers, making efficient products will actually get green consumers buying. Dell, H-P, #3 IBM and other PC makers now produce desktops and laptops that use up to 25 percent less energy than 2008 models. Many such models are available when you rent laptops from CRE.

Not only hardware

Media companies like #8 Yahoo earned points (and respect) for unique cooling solutions in their data centers, which are voracious consumers of energy. Yahoo’s “evergreen” data centers now consume 40% less energy and an astonishing 94% less water than typical installations. With all the tablet PC rentals, iPads, smart phones and mobile web gadgets in the world, and the growing demand on such data centers, this is an important development.

The rest of the tech firms in the top 10 (U.S.) are #4 Intel, #5 Sprint Nextel, #6 Adobe Systems and #7 Applied Materials.

You’re the top!

Every CRE client and customer is a “top firm,” and we’re ready to give you our very best to help you overcome a wide range of challenges. From trade show convention rentals to high-end post-production gear like mass storage and render farms, we’ve got you covered. Call or e-mail an expert Account Executive today, or “go self-serve” with our Quick Rental Quote form if you know what you need. Either way, we’ll equip you to succeed as “greenly” as possible!

7 Simple Steps for Greener Meetings

August 9th, 2011

The “green” movement promotes the wise use of existing energy and the development of new, renewable resources. It’s a long-term goal, certainly, and one that CRE supports, but in the meantime you can still bring green thinking to your company’s meetings, conferences and other events. Stay on the road to sustainability with 7 simple steps for greener meetings.

1. Save trees. Materials can be distributed via Web sites, e-mail or peer-to-peer communication using iPad rentals, WiFi-enabled laptops and smart phones. For everything from pre-event PR to post-event customer follow-up, cross-platform file formats like PDF and HTML make it easy to reach wired and wireless devices of every kind.

2. Make a personal pitch. Whether in a PC video chat, over the phone, in a YouTube clip or, better yet, in person, you need to open your mouth and promote that meeting, seminar or trade show presence. Put promotional materials on the tablet PC rentals that you provide your conference team.

3. Cultivate “enviro-allies”. Share your company’s green statement, or a new one created for your planned event, with vendors, attendees, exhibitors and speakers. Get everyone on the same page and working together toward a mutual goal.

recycling bins

4. The three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Your efforts to use the three Rs should be visible and accessible. As you reduce the use of paper, also reuse glassware instead of buying disposable cups and recycle as much metal, glass and plastic trash as you can.

5. Energy saving plans. Whether you’re running the show or using CRE’s event production services, you will need to ensure, among other things, that lights and air conditioning are turned off in empty rooms. You can tailor other energy-efficient strategies depending on the event type and building.

6. Eat green. Make local, seasonal produce part of the fare if you are also playing caterer. Fresh, healthy foods are never out of style, and eating wisely is an important part of a positive lifestyle.

7. Save gas and time. For off-site events, keep traveling distances short. The host city should be close to as many attendees as possible, and within that city pick one of the hotel conference centers near the airport.

Meeting planning and convention rentals are just two areas of CRE Rentals’ broad expertise, which ranges from all kinds of computer rentals to serious post-production gear. A simple call or e-mail gets an experienced Account Executive on the job, focused on the solution to your unique challenges. (Know what you need?

How Green are Convention Centers?

June 28th, 2011

Green conventions are much more numerous than they were when we first blogged about them (read our post on Best Practices Checklist) from 2009. More importantly, they are no longer an “alternative” style, but a primary one. Since CRE is the go-to firm for conferences, with expertise in everything from convention rentals and presentations to tech support and logistics, we’re well qualified to point the way to “greener pastures.”

How Green are Convention Centers

Shades of green

Rather than tactics or activities, which we’ve blogged about elsewhere, this is about how to spot a good convention facility to achieve your “green” goal. You cannot assume anything about a hotel or convention center simply because it calls itself “green.” There are no legal standards in effect for using the term.

It’s your responsibility to figure out how to (excuse the pun) greenlight the candidates for your firm’s convention site. Consider this a “profiling” task and look for the following “character traits”:

• Accessibility (real and virtual) – The site, if not itself a hotel complex, should be within walking distance of hotels, eateries and public transportation. You also need access to both your data and your colleagues, so site-wide Wi-Fi is key to keeping your team’s iPad rentals, tablets and other devices connected to the Web – and each other.

• Saving water – The “deep green” convention sites have the latest in forced-air hand driers, low-flow toilets and other water-saving devices in restrooms.

• Serving water – Less waste is generated if the convention center provides glassware and large pitchers of water, rather than costly individual water bottles.

• The paper chase – Convention centers should help attendees reduce the use of paper, starting with Wi-Fi for programs and registration. Laptops, iPad 2, tablet PC rentals – CRE has the right wireless rental solutions for all your different needs.

• Setup and teardown efficiency – Green facilities will have a strategy for reducing utility costs (lights, a/c, heat) during setup and teardown in the exhibit area. CRE Rentals’ setup personnel will handle everything including schooling you in the most efficient use of the latest LCD touchscreen monitor rentals.

• Site-wide efficiency – The convention center should also reduce energy usage by cutting off lights in unused rooms, at all hours.

• Commitment – The convention center should have a comprehensive recycling program already in place and a policy similar to CRE’s own “Green Statement.”

CRE can help you “go green” at a convention or “stay green” right in your office – with everything from energy-saving office equipment rentals to high-end, high horsepower post-production gear that reduces project time to save you money.
