This year’s FEC award winners include: ten Platinum Awards, five Gold Awards, ten Silver Awards and eight Bronze Awards. The 2012 FEC Award winners completed a variety of electronics stewardship activities in fiscal year 2011, including purchasing more than 105,000 green electronics registered with EPEAT; enabling power-saving sleep features on more than 97 percent of their computers and monitors; and recycling more than 361,000 pounds of electronics.
