Product reuse and recycling programs

In our commitment to a cleaner environment, we are involved in a variety of product-focused initiatives that help us, our customers and the planet.

Unisys Corporation is committed to complying with governmental legislative and regulatory requirements for providing environmentally sound recovery, recycling, and disposal of customer end-of-life Unisys name-branded electrical and electronic equipment.

To address proper recovery, recycling, and disposal of customer end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment that is consistent with legislative or regulatory requirements, Unisys utilizes only environmentally sound disposition partners. In the European Union these partners are conducting business in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive and related Member State legislation.

Since 1997, our EOL product disposition program has been well ahead of EU legislation. Over the years we have recovered 45.8 million pounds of obsolete products internally, as well as a large percentage of products from clients globally and processed them through recycling partners and third-party facilities. In 2023, more than 300,000 pounds of EOL electronics were collected as a part of this program, designed to incorporate applicable compliance obligations, including with the WEEE Directive.

Unisys participates in a variety of community outreach programs that involve donations of excess office supplies and equipment, office furniture, and electronic media to schools, non-profit organizations and small businesses. Over the years many tons of previously used equipment have been diverted from landfills as the result of such outreach programs. In addition, Unisys actively participates in the recycling of aluminum cans, glass bottles, paper, cardboard, and packaging materials.

Whenever possible, Unisys promotes recycling opportunities, reduces waste generation and encourages the wise use of supplies and materials during and after their useful life. In our commitment to a cleaner environment, we're involved in a variety of product-focused initiatives that help us, our customers, and the planet.
