Samsung Starts its Own Recycling Program
Samsung
has announced its own recycling program in Canada, aptly named the
Samsung Take back and Recycling Program (STAR). It will be a free
service that lets customers return empty Samsung-branded toner
cartridges for laser and multi-function printers.STAR is supported by
Canada Post, and will see returned cartridges safely reprocessed into
their major usable component materials, like plastic and metals. These
bulk, reprocessed materials will then be made available to the market
for re-use in creating a range of other products.“With the STAR
program, Samsung is taking responsibility for the possible
environmental impact of our products,” said Ronald Hulse, Vice
President Sales & Marketing, IT Division, Samsung Electronics
Canada. “A founding principle of the STAR program is that it operates
on a Zero Landfill policy: 100 per cent of the cartridge and related
materials returned under this program are recycled and reused.“Samsung
Electronics Canada, Inc. is committed to fulfilling its obligation as a
corporate citizen in serving the environmental needs of Canada and the
world, and we hope our customers will help us achieve those goals,”
Hulse added.To return an empty Samsung toner cartridge, just visit
http://www.samsung.com/ca/star to print out a pre-addressed, pre-paid Canada
Post return shipping label, than return the box to any Canada Post post
office or red label letter box.“By offering a free and simple recycling
return program like STAR,” concluded Hulse, “we’re providing our
customers with a convenient, conscientious way of ensuring their used
products don’t harm the environment by occupying landfill space.“For
