Recycling 1.2--Dell, HP, and Apple Upgrade Takeback Programs to Slouch Toward Sustainability
In the past month, three major computer companies--Dell, HP, and Apple--have announced major upgrades to their recycling programs, with Dell's global policy leading the pack. However, for an industry known for rapid innovation, these new programs still lag far behind the curve on the path toward true sustainability...
