Information by State

Planar believes that all electronic waste should be properly handled and disposed of at end-of-life in order to minimize risk to consumers and environmental impact. Planar does not dispose of electronic waste in landfills and works only with recyclers that have implemented an Environmental Management System certified to the ISO 14001:2004 standard. All recyclers must also be certified to at least one of the following standards: R2 and e-Stewards. View Planar's Corporate Environmental Policy
