The company HP which is famous for print machines, set up about 400 collection points in the market for printer cartridge. Since this initiative, the company also started to receive computers and printers through mail. Moreover, the firm get equipments or devices in people's home. The is a truck and staff who are responsable for that. Currently, in Brazil, the recycled products that are from manufactured products represent about 8%. According to the director of HP company, the goal is to reach 20% up to 2017. None of the printer cartridge will be forwarded to landfill site. The printer cartidges have about 75% of its material composition with recycling capacity. The company believes in a sort of circular economy. The product material that would be discarted will go back to the manufactured system. Source: Eco Desenvolvimento |
