Dynabook Lifecycle Management Program

What happens when non-functioning PCs are sent to landfills? Many of the materials used to make notebook computers, LCD monitors, tablets, and accessories contain toxic elements that pose environmental risks and can also affect our personal health when they seep into our ecosystem.

What is it?

It is a proactive program to ensure that end-of-life computers are disposed of in an environmentally respectful manner. Dynabook will recycle any manufacturer’s notebook computer, projector, LCD monitor, or tablet free of charge. We can accept the return of original packaging provided with the qualified products.

This program also accepts the following: desktop PCs, printers, faxes, CRT monitors and separate computer components such as hard drives, mother boards, memory, video and network cards, etc.

The Computer Recycling Process

• PC hardware received for recycling
• Hardware is disassembled and sorted
• Components are shredded and granulated.
• Magnetic and Eddy Current separation of granules
• Collection of the various types of granules such as metal, precious metals, glass, plastic and circuit boards
