Sony Take Back Recycling Event - Event ends August 23, 2008
Sony Electronics Inc. and Waste Management Recycle America (WM) invite the public to drop off any brand of used or outdated electronics for proper recycling at the Portland Metropolitan Expo Center on Aug. 23 for free. As part of their ongoing efforts to help consumers recycle electronic devices safely, Sony and WM are picking up the tab for this event, at which old electronics will be properly collected and recycled. The first 2,000 participants to drop off their unwanted electronics will receive a free eco-friendly cloth tote bag. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2 million tons of e-waste ended up in landfills in 2005, while only about 380,000 tons were recycled. By recycling old electronics products, useful materials – such as glass, plastic and metals – can be collected and re-used in the manufacture of other products. Sony Electronics and WM have taken a proactive approach to the growing issue of e-waste with the national Take Back Recycling Program, launched last fall. Hoping to serve as a model for other partnerships, the companies have put together a national network of permanent drop-off locations where consumers can recycle Sony Electronics products for free. In addition, the companies have committed to collecting and processing all the items they collect in an environmentally sound manner. Sony Electronics and WM, along with LG Electronics, Gateway and Acer, are also coordinating efforts to comply with the Oregon e-waste recycling law, effective January 2009. The compliance plan, dubbed the Independent Producer Responsibility Group Plan, represents the highest level of commitment a manufacturer can make to take responsibility for the products it manufacturers by recycling its own branded products. The Aug. 23 event is part of Sony's national effort to bring attention to recycling e-waste and educate the public that there are alternatives to trashing electronics, and that – through recycling – natural resources can be used again and greenhouse emissions are reduced in the process. This coming February, all television stations will be required to convert from analog broadcasting to digital. Some older televisions will not be able to pick up the digital transmission without a special converter. Sony Electronics and Waste Management – through the Take Back Recycling Program – are ready to help consumers by offering a convenient way to recycle their old television sets as well as publicize the permanent network of drop off points to recycle electronic waste.
