Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the IBM Laptop Battery

Applying the professional recycling expertise of Reclaimed Appliances, 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. The establishment of the new facility and network reaffirms HP's commitment to leading industry in addressing the e-waste situation in the East African region. The facility will continue to involve the informal sector and facilitate the management of e-waste as a resource in the region

During this transition period, HP customers can still arrange for the collections of their e-waste via the HP with battery such as Lenovo 45K1275 Battery, Lenovo L08S3B21 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad S10 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad S12 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad S9E Battery, Lenovo L08S6T13 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad Y650A Battery, Lenovo 57Y6440 Battery, Lenovo L09N6D16 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 Battery, Lenovo IdeaPad Y560 Battery, Lenovo 43R1967 Battery website, and the informal sector workers in Mombasa can make arrangements for the e-waste they have collected.

The expansion of the EACR recycling facility in Kenya demonstrates that the proper management of e-waste in Africa is achievable. E-waste is a resource and properly managed generates local income and employment while fully addressing current health, safety and environmental impact issues.

Where are the other HP waste management plants sited in different parts of the world?

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. See www.hp.com/recycle

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 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.
