76 percent said that recycling was the best way to deal with end-of-life issues for electronics (as opposed to discarding or hoarding, presumably). Motorola's new project comes at the same time as a new survey conducted by Pike Research finds increasing awareness of the dangers of discarded electronic waste, as well as strong opinions on how best to deal with e-waste. Motorola has also set up takeback bins in retail outlets and service centers in other parts of the world. The new e-waste takeback program expands on the companies recycling projects around the world, with some regions requiring takeback through the the European Union's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) laws. "We've established this program to make it easier for our customers to recycle, while supporting Motorola's goals of reducing the environmental impact of our own products."Īlthough the program is by and large free, Motorola said that some items my require freight charges to be paid by the customer. "Recycling conserves resources, reduces impact on the environment and makes good business sense," Tom Collins, Motorola's senior vice president for Worldwide Supply Chain & Operations and EMS, said in a statement. Takeback is free for companies, with smaller items recyclable by mail through Motorola's website, and larger items can be picked up by Motorola's recycling partners. The new initiatives covers a wide range of Motorola-branded equipment, ranging from two-way radios to in-vehicle mobile workstations, and from networking hardware to desktop computers. 
Motorola this week announced it was offering a free takeback and recycling program for all of its enterprise mobility equipment, making it easier for companies to responsibly dispose of electronics at the end of their useful lives.
