Ltd, we understand that our responsibility doesn’t end at selling you our products. In our Endeavour to ensure a better future, we at DOMO adopt eco-friendly innovations and practices. We are acting responsibly to protect the environment and our “Sustain the Future- Go green” program is an initiative towards leading a more sensible life, and taking an aware step towards conservation and optimization of resources. So, when an Electrical & Electronics product reaches its end-of-life, we take it back, reuse it or dismantle/recycle it. Since Personal Computers, Tablets PC, Laptops and other electronic items contains toxic and hazardous materials, safe disposal of e-waste reduces the environment pollution. The correct disposal of old product will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. Our target clientele base ranges from educational institutions to college and school students and third party vendors to office users. For this reason we conduct seminars and workshops atleast once a year to create awareness about e-Waste and its management.
