Panasonic offers this service to help organizations reallocate their out-of-warranty Toughbook® mobile computers, either, to gain a tax-benefit by donating them to a non-profit group or to provide a benefit to their own employees by allowing them to purchase the units for personal use. This environmentally friendly option is provided by Panasonic's partner, PlanITROI, for the cost of shipping and the processing fees that 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.
