Abstract: Devices and methods are discussed herein to track networked electronic devices during the course of their lifecycles. Each electronic device may be provided with a “green passport” by its manufacturer which contains all relevant information concerning the operation of the device during its lifetime. When a new electronic device is coupled to a network, it may emit a uniform resource identifier (URI) which may be received by a server that may operate as a manager for the green passports of devices within its purview. The manager may download the green passport from the manufacturer's server. The manager may verify the authenticity of the URI and/or the green passport to avoid security threats. The manager may monitor the electronic device and issue notifications throughout its lifecycle. At the end-of-life of the electronic device, the manager may issue sustainable disposable information for the device.
