Wacom Announces E-waste Program

VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 31 -- Wacom® Technology Corp. announces the start of its e-waste (electronic waste) take-back program for customers looking to recycle interactive pen display models that are no longer being used or ready to be retired.  Wacom customers interested in participating can consult http://www.wacom.com/ewaste to access recycling data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.  The site features a shipping label tool whereby customers can print out a UPS label for the nearest recycling center, affix it to a box containing the old equipment and drop it off at a UPS center or satellite office for shipment to the recycling location.  The Wacom-sponsored take-back program currently covers the following ten states: Hawaii, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.  Nearly 100% of the display materials are recycled and the program is free to all participants.

"Wacom deeply cares about the environment and supports a variety of green initiatives," said Joe Deal, president of Wacom Technology Corp.  "Our new e-waste program demonstrates our commitment to recycling and taking care of our planet for future generations to enjoy."

E-waste legislation has passed in 23 states and sets mandatory manufacturer or retailer  participation in recycling programs as well as a ban on depositing computer monitors and other display types into landfills.  Wacom participates through state administered recycling programs in 11 of these states including California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.  New York and South Carolina also recently passed e-waste legislation, but the programs are not yet operational.

Wacom anticipates that e-waste initiatives will continue to gain traction in other states and might one day include other recyclable products other than its displays.  Customers seeking additional information on Wacom's recycling program are encouraged to visit http://www.wacom.com/ewaste or call 800-922-6613.
