Acer GreenCycle – 3 good reasons to join

Let’s take a close look at three good reasons to join our program.

1 – Help curb e-waste

E-waste refers to devices and electronics that are no longer working or nearing end-of-life. Generally, such items are usually unwanted and destined to be thrown away. But sadly, only 17.4% of global e-waste is actually recycled!

As schools often replace and upgrade their IT equipment, they play a significant role in this unfortunate scenario. How can they make sure their e-waste is disposed of correctly?

That’s where GreenCycle takes centre stage—offering a free recycling program that helps schools reduce their environmental impact. Why not take advantage of this win-win program?

2 – It’s safe, free of charge and free of red tape

E-waste brings us to the second good point. Removal and correct disposal of old technology can be unsafe, troublesome, admin-heavy and expensive.

With Acer GreenCycle, forget about the paperwork! Leave your legacy equipment removal to our experienced partners ITAD. What’s more? It’s entirely free!

3 – You’re choosing planet-friendly devices for your school

The basic requirement for joining our free recycling program is the purchase of at least 20 Acer devices, and we’re sure you’ll love them!

First, select from our vast portfolio of devices that ranges from Notebooks to Chromebooks—each with unique form factors, features and characteristics. From primary or secondary school students to teachers, IT staff members and beyond, we have a device for every specific need. What’s best, all devices come with up to Intel® Core™ i7 Processors that provide the processing power to take on any school task.

And, of course, all new Acer devices for Education are environmentally friendly! Every model features up to 30% Post-Consumer Recycled plastics (PCR) and an OceanGlass™ touchpad made from ocean-bound plastics. Perhaps best of all—they all ships in 100% recycled packaging. Check out the complete list of eligible devices.
