HP Recycles PCs in China
The expanded program offers free services to Chinese consumers and small businesses.
Hewlett-Packard
Co. has begun recycling PCs and other products for Chinese consumers
and small businesses, expanding a free program that already existed for
large companies.”We’ve offered recycling to corporate and enterprise
customers in China for many years, and now we’re extending this to
consumers and small businesses in response to customer demand,” said
Ryan Donovan, an HP spokesman.Environmental protection is a growing
concern in China, where cities and the countryside have been ravaged by
years of headlong economic growth and heavy pollution. The country has
also become a major destination for electronic waste shipped from
overseas that has resulted in pollution in the towns where these items
are processed.Starting Tuesday, Chinese consumers can drop off HP
computers and other products, such as printers, monitors, and scanners,
for recycling at service centers in 31 Chinese cities, the company
said. These products will be sorted by HP and then sent out for
recycling in China.
Details of the hardware recycling program are available on HP’s Web site (in Chinese).
HP’s
Chinese recycling effort for used PCs will be expanded over the next
year to include more cities and additional drop-off points, the company
said.HP isn’t the only PC vendor that offers free recycling of PCs and
other equipment in China. Last December, Dell Inc. announced a program
that will recycle PCs and other equipment for corporate customers in
China. Under that program, returned equipment may either be refurbished
and resold, or sent out for recycling.
