Newer Technology (NewerTech) today announced a new initiative to aid customers who purchase NuPower laptop replacement batteries. The new disposal program offers participants a free return shipping label with every NuPower laptop replacement battery sold, enabling customers to ship their old battery back to NuPower for free. Additionally, the NuPower battery box is designed for reuse to send the old battery back without the need to furnish packaging materials. "By making it as simple as taking the NuPower battery out of the box, putting the expired battery from the laptop in, and affixing the prepaid return shipping label, NewerTech continues its leading position in providing a no-cost means for customers to ensure that old PowerBook and iBook batteries are properly disposed of and that recoverable materials are responsibly recycled."
