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 7,197 units of PCs were processed in fiscal 2011, with a recycling rate of 58.6%.
