HP Wants Manufacturers To Bear PC Disposal Costs

Posted by timothy on from the officialdom dept.

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."
