Plastic pollution is a pervasive issue that affects every aspect of our environment, including our bodies, as we ingest microplastics. World Environment Day 2025 urges us to come together to tackle this critical challenge.

At IGEL, we believe everyone has a role in protecting our planet and reducing plastic pollution and waste. We are on a mission to enable sustainable IT by helping organizations reduce their IT carbon footprint by extending the useful life of their endpoint hardware.

Why sustainable IT is key reducing plastic waste

IT contributes to serious sustainability challenges across almost every industry. According to the UN’s fourth Global E-waste Monitor (GEM), a record 62 million tonnes (Mt) of e-waste was produced in 2022, up 82% from 2010. Furthermore, the report found that e-waste is on track to rise another 32%, to 82 million tonnes, in 2030.

The production and use of new electronic devices is exacerbating this problem. Just reducing the rate of new device purchases can alleviate a significant amount of sustainability drain, not to mention the clear CAPEX savings. Consider for a moment that 83% of a device’s total carbon footprint is produced during the manufacturing process. If we can slow down the adoption of new devices, it can greatly impact e-waste as well as our total carbon consumption.

Next, let’s examine the impact of end-user computing. Research shows that approximately 2.5% of our global emissions originate from end-user computing, and end-user computing devices consume 3% of the world’s power generation. This represents a significant burden on the Earth that we can influence.

IGEL supports sustainable IT by delivering energy-efficient IT solutions and forming strategic partnerships to reduce carbon emissions. Here are some of the ways we are making a difference:

• Extending Hardware Lifespan. We enable organizations to extend the life span of existing devices by optimizing with IGEL OS. This minimizes e-waste. Based on a recent study with Px³, extending the lifespan of 5,000 endpoint devices from 4 to 8 years with IGEL helps achieve a reduction in electricity usage by 157,550 kWh/y.
• IT Asset Disposal. IGEL also supports responsible IT asset disposal to mitigate e-waste and its health impacts. By backing social projects for device reuse and responsible disposal partnerships, including Sun Screen IT, we enhance IT sustainability.
• Energy Efficiency in IT Operations. By focusing on making responsible choices for energy-efficient devices and optimizing the resources utilized by IT and end users, we can reduce CO2 emissions and conserve energy. Selecting responsibly manufactured devices and enabling them to minimize power consumption through more efficient software, such as IGEL OS, can significantly contribute to this goal by reducing power use by more than 22%. Transitioning from Windows to IGEL OS can decrease device power usage by as much as 49%, further lowering energy consumption.
• Partnerships for Sustainability. Through our partnership with Plant for the Planet, together with our customers and partners, we have planted 21,502 trees and supported research in reforestation projects in Mexico, Africa and Indonesia.

Resilience is enabled by a robust business continuity plan (BCP). While most organizations back up data and upgrade infrastructure, one crucial component often goes overlooked—the endpoint. The frontline devices that users depend on daily are the most vulnerable, and when compromised, can disrupt operations at scale. 

IGEL Business Continuity solution is not just about reactive disaster recovery but about proactive resilience. By combining an emergency “911” or “999” solution, organizations can get back up and running quickly and securely, amidst a breach or outage. 

Defense in Depth (DiD) is a cybersecurity strategy that uses multiple layers of security controls to protect data and systems from threats. Instead of relying on a single defense mechanism, DiD ensures that if one layer is compromised, others are still in place to mitigate risks. IGEL Business Continuity offers an in–depth approach to endpoint recovery including IGEL Business Continuity Dual Boot, IGEL Business Continuity USB boot and services. 

What sets IGEL apart is not just speed but strategy.  Deployment is set up in advance with an IGEL Specialist, ensuring that authentication protocols, virtual desktop clients, and collaboration tools like Teams and Zoom are integrated and ready. IT regains control and can manage recovery in minutes and  hours, not days or even weeks.

Moreover, as part of the IGEL Preventative Security Model,  IGEL OS operates as a read-only system with no local data storage, aligning perfectly with zero-trust security principles. No endpoint data, no persistent risk. 

In hybrid work scenarios, IGEL Business Continuity extends beyond office walls. Employees stranded at home by weather or transport issues can securely access corporate resources using personal devices, booting directly into IGEL OS without risking company data leaks. 

Cyber threats and IT outages will continue to rise. But with IGEL Business Continuity in your BCP toolkit, they don’t have to disrupt your operations. Don’t wait for an emergency to test your business continuity plan. Strengthen it now with IGEL Business Continuity.

A recent study found that 70 percent of web applications have significant security vulnerabilities. In its 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report, Verizon identified web applications as a primary attack vector in 2023, as they were used in 80% of incidents and 60% of breaches.

The increasing number of threats and the constantly evolving nature of today’s cybersecurity landscape are driving a shift toward browsers purpose-built to support enterprise-grade security.

The rise of the enterprise browser

In a report published in 2023, Gartner predicted that by 2027, enterprise browsers will become central to enterprise super app consolidation strategies, driven by productivity. Gartner analysts also predicted that by 2030, enterprise browsers will be the core platform for delivering workforce productivity and security software on managed and unmanaged devices for a seamless hybrid work experience.[1]

Enterprise browsers have advanced security features and are less resource-intensive than Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Remote Browser Isolation (RBI), or SASE capabilities like Secure Web Gateway (SWG), which have traditionally been used to secure enterprise browsing activities. With built-in encryption, access control, browser isolation for secure browsing modes, and protection against malware and phishing attacks, the enterprise browser enables organizations to safeguard sensitive data and protect against unauthorized access by minimizing the risk of data breaches and ensuring compliance.

IGEL’s endpoint strategy today enables enterprise IT to deliver secure, cloud-based digital workspaces. When paired with an enterprise browser, IGEL’s Preventative Security Model is a robust solution that provides resilient endpoint management and control of the application layer.

This June 5^th the spotlight is on “Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration” for World Environment Day to drive awareness of solutions to restore land, halt desertification and build drought resilience. World Environment Day 2024, led by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), has grown to be one of the largest global platforms for environmental outreach. Every year it mobilizes hundreds of millions of people to protect the planet by building momentum for climate action by rallying support for vital ecosystems restoration work among individuals, companies and foundations.

One such foundation is Plant-for-the-Planet, a global leader in ecosystem restoration. Read this interview with Sagar Aryal , Chief Technology Officer and Board Member at Plant-for-the-Planet to learn how this foundation restores forests and ecosystems with local communities, company sponsorships and technology.

Q1. How does Plant-for-the-Planet support the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration?

The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration is a joint effort of global organizations to restore the world’s ecosystems to get humanity on track for a more sustainable future. As a global movement, Plant-for-the-Planet is an official partner of the UN decade and plays a central part in educating and empowering the next generation on climate justice and ecosystem restoration, among other work. Plant-for-the-Planet is part of #GenerationRestoration.

Q2. Can you summarize how trees can reduce CO2 emissions.

CO2 is also called carbon dioxide. It is a gas that is part of our atmosphere. It is produced by burning fossil fuels and is one of the greenhouse gases that causes climate change.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In the process called photosynthesis they split the carbon from the oxygen atoms and use it to build their biomass – like wood and leaves. So, trees don’t reduce CO2 emissions – only humans can do that -, but they help us to get rid of some of the emissions. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough trees on Earth anymore to offset all our CO2 emissions and the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is constantly rising. That’s why we need to radically reduce emissions and urgently need more forests!

Q3. How do you select global Plant-for-the-Planet restoration projects? (Yucatàn, Ghana, Andalucia)

Each of our three projects follows a different agenda, which is closely related to the geographic area, where they are located and the needs of the community.

In Yucatàn, we are working to restore the forest landscapes in and around the San Felipe Bacalar Natural Protected Area, as well as the Balam-Kú nature reserve and Calakmul Biosphere Reserves. Our sites have suffered different levels of degradation: Some areas are recently abandoned cattle pastures with only a few scattered trees left. Other areas were never fully deforested, but either economically valuable trees have been logged or significant proportions of the forest were destroyed by fires, leaving behind relatively species-poor vegetation. In other areas, the forest is still full of many species, and we are either conserving it or letting it grow back on its own.

We decided to work in Mexico as it is part of the mega-biodiverse areas in the world. Also, the trees we plant here grow a lot faster than trees in Europe do. This way they absorb more carbon dioxide in a shorter period and help us battle the climate crisis.

Plant-for-Ghana is a hybrid restoration project. We believe sustainable restoration is the best way to bring back the lost forest in the Northern Savannah Ecological Zone of Ghana, thereby contributing to Plant-for-the-Planet’s goal to plant one trillion trees worldwide.

This hybrid project combines two approaches: the planting of native species and the planting of agroforestry species in mixed stands. By planting high diversity tree mixes in deforested areas, we not only ensure that restored forests are resilient to the ongoing threats of the climate crisis, but also establish a multi-functional forest with more productive forest stands. Growing both native tree species that will not be harvested and agroforestry species ensures that local communities can also benefit from our work.

In Andalusia, Plant-for-the-Planet Spain has set the goal to recover the lost forests around Granada and Doñana. In Doñana, approximately 9,000 ha of forest in the Doñana National Park were lost in the 2017 Las Peñuelas wildfire. The project is a collaboration with the Directorate General for the Natural Environment, Biodiversity and Protected Spaces of the Andalusian Regional Government.

In Granada, we are restoring and expanding the Green Belt that is helping to mitigate pollution.

Both projects have a direct impact on the local communities and will contribute to a more sustainable future for younger generations. The aim is to plant a total of 1 million trees by 2030.

Q4. How do partnerships with companies such as IGEL Technology support your mission?

Plant-for-the-Planet collaborates with companies like IGEL that are genuinely committed to ecosystem restoration and combating the climate crisis. Our empowerment programs, platform, and IT solutions are provided free of charge, funded by our partners and donors. Additionally, partners such as IGEL directly contribute to positive impacts by funding tree plantings in projects like those in Mexico and Ghana. With effective climate communication, we can collectively reach a wider audience and raise awareness for this urgent matter.

Q5. How does Plant-for-the-Planet manage global restoration projects?

At Plant-for-the-Planet we developed free software tools like FireAlert and TreeMapper to help plan, monitor, and improve restoration efforts, making projects more effective. These tools allow us to monitor restoration areas and fire risks in real-time.

Additionally, we developed standards for forest restoration, natural regeneration, mangroves, and conservation projects to guide our efforts. We follow a two-step verification process: off-site by reviewing the project’s restoration plan, and on-site by conducting visits to ensure compliance with our standards. Only projects that fulfill our standards can collect donations via our platform. Projects that do not meet all standards or need help in other ways can make use of our free restoration advice.

Q6. Where does Plant-for-the-Planet stand in their mission to restore up to 1 trillion trees?

The world currently has 3 trillion trees and the potential to restore one trillion lost trees. It is essential that we protect our existing forests and bring those lost forests back.

However, we are currently still losing about 10 billion trees every year. That is roughly equivalent to the total number of trees in Germany. While the deforestation rate has gone down substantially since its peak in the 1980s, we are still moving further away from our goal every year.

Plant-for-the-Planet is working hard with our collaborators to reverse that trend. Our tools like tracer.eco and our forest rangers help to protect existing forests while we regrow destroyed forests. Through the Plant-for-the-Planet platform 86 million trees have already been donated.

Q7. What can a person do to support restoration projects?

Many restoration projects are nonprofits organized by civil society. If you find one in your neighborhood, you can probably offer a helping hand. If you can’t find a project where you can get active, you can go to our platform and select from more than 250 projects worldwide that need financial support to reach their restoration goals. You can donate on the platform. It is a very simple process. But you can also create a membership page, set yourself a planting goal and invite your friends to join you. This way you will help us to raise awareness and multiply your contribution.

On World Environment Day 2024, join Generation Restoration, take action to grow forests, revive water sources, and bring back soil by supporting restoration projects with Plant-for-the-Planet.

This integration in IGEL OS is unique and supports our joint customers with easy, direct access so they can run device checks centrally from the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS) management console without requiring any further plugin permission or installation.

Granular Control Enables Direct Access to Analyze, Check Device Posture

The integration of Citrix Gateway into IGEL OS grants the IT administrator access to Citrix Endpoint Analysis to run a health check on the posture of a targeted device from the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS).

Endpoint Analysis (EPA) is a process that scans a user’s device and detects information, such as the presence and version level of operating system updates, antivirus software, firewall, and web browser software. Endpoint Analysis allows the IT admin to determine if a user’s device meets the organization’s requirements before it connects to their network. IT can check files, processes, and registry entries on the user device during the user session to ensure the device continues to meet the requirements.

With this integration, IGEL UMS administrators accessing Citrix resources can perform EPA checks for file, process, device, and mount point before authentication. Citrix and IGEL are committed to supporting our joint customers, which includes close collaboration with product teams to plan, integrate, test, and validate customer requests above and beyond the required functionality and criteria to achieve Citrix Ready approvals.

Citrix Endpoint Analysis is integrated in IGEL OS 11.08.290 along with Citrix Workspace app 2302 effective March 23, 2023.

As a longstanding Citrix Ready partner, IGEL stays in lockstep with the latest versions of Citrix Workspace, Citrix Cloud services, and the Citrix Workspace app and is validated as Citrix Ready Endpoint Premium and Citrix Ready for Citrix DaaS.
