Microsoft Ireland launches programme to aid environment

Microsoft Ireland today launched a new environmentally friendly programme designed to increase the number of low-cost computers available to charities and schools whilst keeping serviceable computers out of landfills.

The Microsoft Authorised Refurbisher (MAR) programme, was launched at the Rehab Recycle facility in Tallaght and will provide companies with a means of disposing unused or end-of-life computer equipment which can then be serviced, re-conditioned and installed with new software.
