The rapid proliferation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has transformed every sphere of human activity but has also created a mounting environmental burden through energy use, resource extraction, and electronic waste (e-waste). By the mid-2010s, ICT’s global electricity demand approached 7–8% of total generation, and e-waste reached 44.7 million tonnes, with less than 20% formally recycled (Baldé et al., 2017; Shehabi et al., 2016). This paper synthesizes pre-2018 research to examine Green Computing as both a technological and managerial necessity. It explores its evolution, environmental implications, and standards such as EPEAT, ENERGY STAR, WEEE, and RoHS. Finally, it presents a model “Environmentally Sustainable Project” (ESP), a structured framework integrating energy efficiency, sustainable procurement, and responsible disposal. The study concludes that sustainable ICT management is not only feasible but indispensable for reducing carbon intensity and supporting long-term ecological resilience.
