NEC launches free IT hardware recycling service
29 February 2008
NEC Computers is offering a free IT hardware recycling service for
customers and businesses. The UltraClean Service enables organisations
to call on NEC expertise to organise the removal of redundant IT
hardware, including CRT monitors and other equipment with hazardous
substances, in accordance with EU Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) Directive.
The service includes the return and disposal of a minimum of 50 units
including: desktop computers, notebooks, monitors, printers and servers
— regardless of the equipment manufacturer.
To comply with the WEEE Directive, The service provides
participants with a report specifying the removal of hazardous
substances, also detailing which items can be safely recycled. The service is an extension of NEC’s Environmental Management
System which regularly evaluates the impact of its activities,
implements actions limiting negative effects on the environment,
ensuring the effectiveness of such actions and improving its overall
performance.
Dave Burns, UK Service Manager, NEC Computers, said: “We have
consistently strived to be environmentally aware both in developing our
products and in supporting our customers. As such, UltraClean is a
natural progression for us. We know that customers, especially within
the public sector, are increasingly ecologically aware and demand their
suppliers reflect their own commitment to reducing environmental impact
of IT. We believe that UltraClean will go a long way to ensure that NEC
Computers remains at the forefront of environmental matters within the
marketplace. We encourage all of our customers and partners to take
advantage of this free initiative to see how effective it is.”
