Vision Research announces its Phantom camera recycling programme announced

Maximising and environmental and financial benefits to you through recycling

Electronic equipment, with its rapid-up-date culture, is not usually thought of as being recyclable even though their productive life may not be entirely over.

In Australia, during the 2008 - 2009 period, recycling organisations reported having recycled 26.3 million tonnes of discarded commodities, representing 44% of total refuse collected. Vision Research plans to increase this percentage, modestly, with the launch of their Phantom recycling initiative.

The Vision Research Way
With the understanding that electronic resources are made from valuable resources and materials, including metals, plastics and glass, all of which require energy to mine and manufacture, and with the intention of increasing people's awareness of electronic recycling programmes, Vision Research created their own high-speed camera recycling programme for their high-speed cameras.

How does the programme work?
Aimed at providing the opportunity to trade in older cameras for the latest models, Vision Research will offer clients with discontinued models the option of returning their old cameras for recycling to Vision Research, in return for a 5% credit on a new camera (the 5% credit can run into many thousands of dollars).

Vision Research will then break down the high-speed camera into parts and either reuse or recycle the components in an environmentally-friendly manner.

How you benefit
Apart from the benefits of contributing to a recycling programme, you have the opportunity of purchasing an up-to-date model at a reduced cost, so, if you have an unused Vision Research camera, gain two benefits by returning the camera to us.
