Fujitsu collaborates with TES-AMM to launch recycling channel so everyone in Singapore can do their part in reducing environmental waste
Driven by its care for the environment, Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific introduces a new Green Program to invite corporate customers to recycle their old computers and other electronic equipment with TES-AMM. This new electronic waste management initiative aims to save business costs, increases corporate citizenship and encourage sustainability of the earth for the benefit of all.
Singapore, Nov 01, 2007 — Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific announces the launch of a Green Program focusing on minimizing electronic waste and recycling of computers and other electronic equipment. In collaboration with electronic waste management solutions specialist TES-AMM Singapore, Fujitsu introduces a channel for their corporate customers to conveniently send all their unwanted PCs, laptops or any other electronic equipment to be recycled at TES-AMM’s processing facility.
Currently, the world is experiencing an exponential boom in the consumption of electronics goods, resulting in massive amounts of electronics scrap piling up and posing threats to the environment. Asia alone discards about 12 million tonnes of e-waste every year, according to a United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) 2005 report.
To further purport their cause in environmental sustainability, Fujitsu is pleased to announce that this service will also be made available to end users as well. This is to encourage and enable more people to adopt environmentally-friendly practices as part of everyday life.
‘Fujitsu believes that everyone has a part to play in reducing the damage discarded computers can bring to our environment. Apart from going to great lengths to build products compliant to the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS), we want to make it as effortless as possible for corporations and consumers to recycle their ‘dead’ computers. In doing so, they will not only be able to play their part in saving costs related to electronics waste handling and focusing their resources to their core business, they will, most importantly, have a chance to conserve the environment,” says Mr. Lim Teck Sin, Associate Director of Product Marketing, Fujitsu PC Asia Pacific.
With this program, any Fujitsu client1 with a minimum of 20 units of redundant electronic equipment can simply make an Uplift Inquiry2 and arrange for these units to be picked up via any one of these three options:
• Phone: Contact Annie Lim at DID: +65 6861 3576 or mobile: +65 9800 2476
• Email: fujitsutb@tes-amm.com
• Web Portal: http://www.tes-amm.com/adhoc_request.asp?id:5
If TES-AMM determines that there is no hazardous substance in the equipment based on the descriptions provided by the participant, a Collection Job Order3 (CJO) will be generated within three working days and arrangements to the best convenience of the participant will be made to collect the equipment.
“At TES-AMM, we believe in ‘Recycling Technology for Tomorrow’, hence we are very pleased to see Fujitsu taking the lead in initiating this green movement with us, as it will encourage many more companies and consumers to recycle their electronic waste. There is very little reason why any company would not want to take this up, as it not only frees them from having to commit resources and costs to dispose these unwanted equipment themselves, but also allows them to do a small but significant part in reducing negative environmental impact,” says Mr. Joe Vong, General Manager, TES-AMM.
Fujitsu remains firmly committed to the promotion of a cleaner environment, complying with the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS) across our entire range of products, allowing Fujitsu to stay keenly focused on our customers’ health and well-being, embracing a healthier environment for all.
