This is an exerpt from an email from John Gertsakis who I contacted about electronic waste while I was looking for secondhand keyboards. He is very helpful and is interested about the outcome of the project. I said I'd let him know how my project ended up but if others are interested I'm sure he would like to see them....

"The best person to speak with about what IT manufacturers/suppliers are
doing in Australia, is Josh Millen. Josh is the best person to give you
an industry wide view. He is the environment/sustsainability person at
the Australian Information Industry Association. The AIIA represent
companies such as HP, Dell, Lenovo etc.

From a policy and projects perspective talk to Jan van DeGraff. Jan
runs the Bytback project and he knows lots about It recycling related
things. Tel: 8626 8700

I'm also developing a national take back and recycling scheme for one
of my clients (Product Stewardship Australia) and their focus is on TVs.
Our members include Sharp, Sony, Samsung, LG, Panasonic etc. Some
cross-over here with your interests. More importantly out web site has a
resources page that lists several of Australia's main ewaste
recyclers. See: http://www.productstewardship.asn.au/organisations.htm"
