  • Visioneer

    Visioneer, a digital imaging company with its headquarters in Hacienda, has introduced a new program that provides a 25 percent discount to customers who turn in their old scanners for recycling. The Trade-Up Program, developed in partnership with California Environmental Protection Agency-certified firm Amergence Technology, accepts any model scanner from any manufacturer, working or not. In return, Visioneer provides a refund on a variety of their new products, including OneTouch color flatbed scanners, mobile sheetfed scanners, and business document scanners, including the new Visioneer Strobe 500 that recently won the PC Magazine Editors' Choice award.

    "This program is designed to provide the user a simple and affordable transition to a new scanner and all the good things that come along with it," says Greg Elder, chief financial officer and corporate sustainability officer at Visioneer. "We have created a sophisticated and thorough process that makes everyone feel good knowing that old equipment is being disposed of in the most earth-friendly manner available. We're proud of this program and the options it makes available to our customers."
