WHILE it used to sell its old electronic products to junk shops, the Philippine office of Japanese printing and imaging firm Canon is now looking toward a more environment-friendly method for electronics disposal.
In an interview with INQUIRER.net, Canon Philippines president Ramon Arteficio said the company wants to improve its electronic waste disposal system in the Philippines as part of their parent company’s global environmental management program.
Arteficio said that while Canon Philippines does have an electronic disposal system for most of its products in China, its printers are mostly sent out to junk shop dealers in the Philippines, with some of the plastics and metal parts being sold and reused to make other items.
