HP introduces free recycling across the EU
HP has announced a free recycling service for commercial and enterprise customers in the European Union.
Business customers can now return IT hardware to designated collection points for HP to dispose of it, in line with the EU's new WEEE Directive.
WEEE - or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment - is the EU's response to the growing problem of e-waste. Its remit covers everything from PCs to power tools, to digital cameras and washing machines. It means manufacturers must finance the recycling of equipment when it reaches the end of its life.
The directive came into force in August and is being introduced in all 25 EU countries over the coming months.
