Takeback and Recycling
Old computers, notebook computers, and other electronic
equipment contain hazardous chemicals that are harmful to the
environment when disposed in a landfill with trash. By recycling,
the metals, plastics, and components found in an old computer
will be broken down and reused to make new products. And, the
environment is protected from any uncontrolled release of harmful
chemicals.
ASUS works with recycling vendors with the highest standards for
protecting our environment, ensuring worker safety, and complying
with global environmental laws. Our commitment to recycling our
old equipment grows out of our work to protect the environment in
many ways.
