... and what do you suppose their definition is of "recycling"?
(Pentium >1 GHz; anything else or slower is "too obsolete" to
be used, and will be crushed for scrap)

HP has a tradition of recycling (scrapping) toner and ink cartridges -
significantly reduces the number of refillable units around.


"one product per day"??? THAT does NOT sound like a serious
effort to recycle. THAT is "free disposal".
