In April 2001, new provisions in the "Law for the Promotion of Effective Utilization of Resources" were enacted, requiring that used PCs from business establishments be collected and recycled by manufacturers. Subsequently in October 2003, the additional responsibility of collecting and recycling used home PCs was placed on manufacturers.
The total number of desktop and laptop PCs and CRT and LCD displays we collected in FY 2011 amounted to approximately 213,000 units, resulting in a 3% increase over the previous year. NEC had achieved the rate for effective utilization of resources in all product categories, as required by the law, by the year of 2003.
