Circulation and Recycling
The EIZO Group complies with the environmental laws and regulations of each country and fulfills our responsibilities after the products have been used by collecting and recycling them.
- Japan
- We collect used monitors from individual and business users and recycle them through our Product Collection and Recycling System and in compliance with the Waste Disposal Act, Law for Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources, and PC Recycling Mark program.
- Europe
- The European WEEE Directive came into effect in August 2005 to reduce environmental impact through promotion of the 3R’s of reduce, reuse, and recycle for discarded electrical and electronic equipment. We have complied with the directive by establishing a collection and recycling system for applicable products sold in Europe.
- United States
- The EPEAT standard requires the provision of a collection service for used electric and electronic equipment. We have met this requirement by establishing a collection and recycling system for products sold in the U.S.
