HP Planet Partners Program

HP Planet Partners Program

Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Compaq Ac Adapter

The HP Planet Partners Program, is available in 57 countries and territories around the world and has resulted in HP reaching a milestone of responsibly recycling 2 billion pounds of electronic products and supplies since 1987 to date.

Q-Please tell us about its capacity and capability to recycle some of the ICT related products such old discarded computers' CPU, monitors, printer, and even mouses and printers' cartridges among others?

Since its inception, the EACR has been unique in Kenya because it has accepted e-waste products from anyone: HP business customers, NGOs, government, informal sector (those individuals collecting from dumpsters and sites that don't have the EACR with battery like Compaq PPP012H Ac Adapter, Compaq 355290-999 Ac Adapter, Compaq PPP014H Ac Adapter, Compaq Armada 2924 Ac Adapter, Compaq Armada E300 Ac Adapter, Compaq Armada M300 Ac Adapter, Compaq Armada V300 Ac Adapter, Compaq EA502PA Ac Adapter, Compaq EF947PA Ac Adapter, Compaq Evo N400 Ac Adapter, Compaq EVO N410C Ac Adapter, Compaq Evo N800C Ac Adapter facility's health, safety and environmental standards) and schools.

More than 20 percent of the e-waste delivered to the EACR comes from the informal sector. The centre offers training programs on the hazards involved in the activity of informal e-waste collection, and the new facility in Nairobi will continue to offer all of these programmes and services.

Until now, the EACR centre has collected IT from more than 151 customers, and in one month alone processed nearly eight tonnes of IT from Kenyan businesses and informal collection schemes.

Operating to the highest HP-approved international health, safety and environmental standards, the EACR facility accepts all types of e-waste. End-of-life products are dismantled and separated into the different parts, including plastics and metals. The parts requiring more complex recycling processes are sent to facilities with the technology to retrieve the valuable resources.

HP established the EACR to test a practical approach to recycling and to demonstrate that e-waste could be successfully managed as a business. The collection of e-waste in Kenya is already managed by the informal sector. What was needed was a place where the e-waste could be managed according to the appropriate health, safety and environmental standards.

Collaboration between governments, NGOs, academics, OEMS, importers of new and used products and recyclers is essential to address the e-waste problems in Africa. For example, HP has been working with the Kenyan environmental authorities (NEMA) and the Kenyan Environment ministry along with organisations such as the United Nations Environment Programme and AMCEN as part of its commitment to helping to facilitate and create the right technical, educational and organizational structures to manage e-waste safely and efficiently.

The EACR is broadening its mandate to handle all classes of e-waste, not just IT, including refrigerators, televisions, and coffee makers - anything with a plug or battery. Since beginning official operations, the EACR remains the only recycling facility in Kenya to accept, dismantle and separate all e-waste components, not just the valuable resources. Plastics, glass, batteries - everything - are all disposed in accordance with the highest international criteria while generating local income and employment opportunities.
