Asus, Intel team up for PC recycling in Taiwan
Asustek Computer and Intel have teamed up with electronics retailer Tsann Kuen
Enterprise to promote PC recycling in Taiwan, the companies announced Tuesday.
People who bring an old computer in for recycling at any of Tsann Kuen's 172
chain stores in Taiwan will receive an NT$2,000 (US$66) gift certificate good
towards a new Asustek computer armed with an Intel dual-core microprocessor.
"We're doing this to promote computer recycling," said Jerry Yen,
general manager of Tsann
Kuen. "It's our way to do something for Earth
Day," he added.
Asustek is putting up most of the money for the gift certificates and other
aspects of the recycling program, while Intel is working on coordination and
promotion. Tsann Kuen is responsible for collecting and transporting the old
PCs. The company will take any computer brand. Workers will first turn on the
old PCs to see if they can be used, then send junked desktops in for recycling.
Any PC that can be refurbished will be donated to charity in Taiwan, the companies
said in a news release.
Tsann Kuen operates the popular 3C electronics store in Taiwan.
