Palm is a manufacturer who has been making the lives of business men and women easier for years. Starting with the stand alone Palm Pilot and later upgrading to include Mobile phones with integrated Palm software this company is now one of the industry leaders in smart phones. With this prominent placement among industry leaders Palm has gone the extra mile and made recycling programs part of their operation.
With the Palm Take Back and Recycling Program Palm users are asked to print a pre paid postage label from the company’s website and place it on a box that holds their unused mobile phone. Phones are then mailed to Palm where they are sorted and sent to mobile phone recycling centres. Palm even allows customers to send in phones manufactured by other companies and gives consumers the opportunity to recycle their accessories as well.
Palm provides manuals for mobile phone recycling centres to use when disassembling pieces for phone recycling. These pieces are often sent back to Palm for the use in refurbishing devices for resell or for the repair of broken devices. With these handy guides mobile phone recycling centres can ensure that as little waste as possible is generated by Palm products.
Palm works with distributors to stress the importance of mobile phone recycling and provides educational material for groups who wish to donate a large number of mobile phones for recycling. With these programs Palm is not only one of the leaders in manufacturing but also a leader in mobile phone recycling.
