NEWS RELEASE – Oct. 28, 2008 – National Instruments today announced a new no-charge service that gives customers the option to return NI hardware products to be recycled.

This new service helps reduce the impact on landfills and other disposal sites and provides an environmentally safe end-of-life solution.
“National Instruments is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen to our global communities and our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders,” said John Graff, vice president of marketing and customer operations at National Instruments. “The launch of the global take-back program is another example of how National Instruments is consistently working toward our long-term goal to reduce our environmental footprint and help create a better world for employees, customers and fellow global citizens.”

NI offers measurement, automation and design tools that make it possible for customers to acquire and analyze real-world data and correct or fix any problems discovered, resulting in more efficient, economic technologies that are better for the planet.
To send hardware products to be recycled, customers can simply e-mail recycling@ni.com, and NI staff will reply with information on how to ship the product. After the product is recycled, NI can also provide a Certificate of Destruction upon customer request.
