It is wonderful to see what is happening in the retail sector in regard to “going green.” The big and small retailers alike are thinking of ways their companies can promote efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Staples, the office products retailer, is offering some great incentives in honor of Earth Day. Now through May, 2 2009 you can get free printer recycling and a $50.00 rebate with a purchase of a new printer. The printers eligible for the rebate are regularly priced at $179 and up.
Staples offers a $3.00 rebate in Staples Rewards® for any brand of ink and toner cartridge you recycle with a limit of 10 per month. Staples has also become more environmentally-friendly by building LEED-certified stores, using recycled paper in their copy centers, offering green consumer products, and investing in clean energy and offering free recycling of cell phones, PDA’s Dell Computer equipment and all computer accessories . Among their consumer products are a line by HP and exclusive to Staples called EcoEasy Editions. There are 2 OfficeJet wireless printers and 2 LaserJet printers in the EcoEasy line-up.
Best Buy is in the green spirit as well. They are using incentives to get customers to recycle as well. Best Buy offers free recycling for most consumer electronics. The exception is for TVs 32" and under, CRTs, monitors and laptops. For these items there is a $10 charge which is offset with a $10 Gift Card. TVs over 32” cannot be recycled at Best Buy.
Best Buy was also the recipient of the 2008 Energy Star Award for excellence in appliance retailing. They offer many Energy Star qualified products — home electronics, office products, appliances, and more – which help reduce energy cost/use and helps prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy
