Korea Zinc, which it described as one of the world's largest smelters, is in talks with major US technology firms to recycle data center waste and extract rare earth.

We are making sure that we have renewable energy powering all of our datacentre footprint. We have 100% renewable power today that is powering all of Azure, and we're very proud to build that base and essentially stimulate renewable energy around the world and in the UK.
Neocloud providers, which include the likes of Nscale, CoreWeave and Carbon3.ai, are having a somewhat disruptive impact on the market by making huge commitments to build out hyperscale datacentres in support of the UK government's AI growth agenda. These providers are also taking up capacity in colocation datacentres that some of the hyperscale cloud giants previously committed to renting space in, before pulling out.

Constructing datacenters accounts for 39 percent of their total carbon dioxide emissions, almost as much as operating them, according to an environmental analysis covering the entire lifecycle of a facility. The finding comes from a white paper published by European datacenter operator Data4, which conducted a lifecycle assessment (LCA) of one of its own facilities with the assistance of design and engineering consultants APL Data Center.
Most businesses, which includes modern ones, invest heavily in technology, but they rarely plan for its eventual and inevitable exit strategy. Generally speaking, companies spend millions on the latest hardware while overlooking the critical phase when those assets reach their end. This lack of planning creates a massive gap in the operational lifecycle of many otherwise successful global organizations. Decisions made at the end of a device's life carry real business risks that can impact the bottom line financially and environmentally speaking.
