Recycling Information for Customers
Philips establishes technically and economically viable objectives to op\
timize the environmental performance of 
the organizations product, service and activities.
From the planning, design and production stages, Philips emphasizes the \
important of making products that 
can easily be recycled. At Philips, end-of-life management primarily ent\
ails participation in national take-back 
initiatives and recycling programs whenever possible, preferably in coop\
eration with competitors.
There is currently a system of recycling up and running in the European \
countries, such as The Netherlands, 
Belgium, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
In U.S.A., Philips Consumer Electronics North America has contributed fu\
nds for the Electronic Industries 
Alliance (EIA) Electronics Recycling Project and state recycling initi\
atives for end-of-life electronics products 
from household sources. In addition, the Northeast Recycling Council (N\
ERC) - a multi-state non-profit 
organization focused on promoting recycling market development - plans t\
o implement a recycling program.
In Asia Pacific, Taiwan, the products can be taken back by Environment P\
rotection Administration (EPA) to 
follow the IT product recycling management process, detail can be found \
in web site www.epa.gov.tw
The monitor contains parts that could cause damage to the nature environ\
ment. Therefore, it is vital that the monitor is 
recycled at the end of its life cycle.
