This service provides organizations with credit for their out-of-warranty Toughbook® mobile computers that can be used toward the purchase of new Toughbook units. The value of the credit can be determined at the time of the original purchase or at the end of the lifecycle. Once the trade-in value is determined, Panasonic applies the proper credit and issues a report on the value of units to the organization. Large and small organizations can trade in their Toughbook computers, which may be refurbished and resold, used for parts or recycled in an eco-friendly manner by Panasonic's partner, PlanITROI. PlanITROI works with the organization to collect the units and ensure all data is wiped from the hard drive in accordance with Department of Defense (DOD) guidelines. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) EPEAT standards are also followed to assure minimal environmental impact.
