PC recycling results
Since fiscal 2002, we have been recycling our personal computers (PCs) in Japan through dedicated transportation and recycling companies. The recycling program was initially limited to business-use PCs, but was extended to home-use PCs in October 2003. Total 8,428 units of PCs were processed in fiscal 2009 (an increase of 21% over the previous fiscal year), with a recycling rate of 59%.
