Greencycling

The use of electronic products has grown substantially over the past two decades, changing the way and the speed in which we communicate and how we get information and entertainment. Finding ways to responsibility dispose of these products is of concern to us. State and local governments, manufacturers, and retailers, who are already aware of the pressing need to better manage these materials, are providing more opportunities to recycle and reuse this equipment. Many computer manufacturers, TV manufacturers, and electronics retailers offer some kind of take back program or sponsor recycling events. Some of these "greencycling" opportunities are highlighted below.

When chosing a computer, think "80 PLUS". When disposing of your product, think "greencycling".

Hewlett Packard

HP has made great strides in increasing the volume of our products recovered for reuse and recycling. But much more progress remains to be made for the information technology (IT) industry. The number of PCs, servers, print cartridges

and other electronics reaching the end of their usable life is growing rapidly. Managing this increasing volume of

discarded equipment conserves natural resources by reducing the need for raw materials and energy to manufacture

new products. As such, our commitment to responsible product reuse and recycling is integral to meeting our objectives.

We offer a range of take-back services for both companies and consumers, illustrated in the graphic below. Responsible

take- back is core to our leasing and reuse services, and saves customers time and expense managing old equipment.
