Electronic components and equipment naturally reach an end of life. Sun believes we have a responsibility to design and plan for this phase in our products' life cycles. As a result, Sun has implemented a global product returns program that recycles, reclaims, and reuses components or entire systems. End users can return their end-of-life equipment to Sun for recycling, reuse, or proper disposal.
