HP Wants Manufacturers To Bear PC Disposal Costs

Makarand writes "The Mercury News is reporting that HP, which had earlier persuaded the Governor to veto an innovative e-waste measure, has changed its mind and is throwing its weight behind California's e-waste bill which would require PC manufacturers to bear the cost of PC disposal. This reversal by HP is close upon the heels of a a series of articles, carried by the Mercury News, detailing how the industry relied on cheap overseas labor to make a profits and at the same time distanced itself from the responsibilities of dead PC disposal."
