Take Back and Recycle Program

Lumenera provides its customers with an environmentally responsible solution for returning Lumenera products that have reached their end-of-life.

Legislative and environmental factors present many companies with the challenge of managing their technology waste. As part of a comprehensive eWaste management initiative, Lumenera is offering this Takeback & Recycle program to provide its customers with a way of sending back Lumenera equipment for proper treatment, recovery, recycling, and environmentally sound disposal.

The equipment returned to Lumenera through this program will be handled in an environmentally safe manner using processes that comply with all eWaste regulations — such as the EU WEEE Directive, Switzerland regulations, all EPA guidelines, and U.S. Federal, state, and local laws.
