The Computer TakeBack Campaign called on Apple Computer to offer free recycling for all of its products, not just iPods, in response to Apple’s announcement today that it will accept old iPods at all of its stores for free recycling... The Computer TakeBack Campaign advocates a program of “extended producer responsibility,” where electronics producers take responsibility for their obsolete products, and manage and finance programs to reuse components then recycle any remaining materials responsibly. By diverting electronics into strictly controlled recycling programs, toxic substances in computers, like lead, mercury, and cadmium, are kept out of municipal landfills, and incinerators and do not get dumped in prisons or poor communities in China and India. Both Dell and Hewlett Packard [HP] have endorsed the extended producer responsibility model, but Apple has not.
