Refurbished Computer Recycling
Since 2009, Asus has integrated environmental protection, recycling, and social welfare by promoting the "Refurbished Computer Digital Empowerment Program." The program provides reverse logistics for computer recycling at its headquarters' customer service center and through channels like Shunfa 3C, accepting various brands of end-of-life electronics (computers, mobile phones, monitors, and peripherals). Through this program, Asus refurbishes used computers and components into refurbished computers, which are then donated to underprivileged communities and disadvantaged groups both domestically and internationally.
In 2025, ASUS collected a total of 92,020 computer devices (including laptops, desktops, and monitors), 5,985 tablets, 1,547 mobile phones, and 3,920 peripheral devices (including servers and other 3C products). These were entrusted to refurbishment factories to be restored into refurbished computers and donated to charitable organizations, with a total of 2,103 refurbished computers and devices donated to 104 schools and nonprofit organizations. The donations were combined with digital courses and teaching resources provided by the Foundation, covering topics from community management and file management to office document processing and design applications, to improve beneficiaries' digital learning capabilities. Through the dual approach of device regeneration and educational empowerment, the program benefited a cumulative total of 205,514 people, directly and indirectly, over the year.
Supporting Government Recycling Event
ASUS actively participates every year in the "Mobile Phone Recycling Month" campaign organized by the Ministry of Environment. To further alleviate consumer concerns regarding personal data leakage, ASUS has introduced information security equipment to ensure that the recycling process addresses both environmental and information security. Building upon existing compliance with the ASUS Privacy Policy and the Customer Property Protection Procedures, ASUS continued its collaboration with the Ministry of Environment in 2025 by installing information security processing equipment at three key ASUS Royal Club service centers: Taipei Guanghua, Taichung Yingcai, and Kaohsiung Jianguo. Through these professional devices, consumers and on-site service personnel can perform physical destruction of critical components (such as power buttons, charging ports, and SIM/SD card slots) of recycled mobile phones and tablets within a secure and controlled environment, effectively preventing the risk of data leakage and enhancing consumer trust in the recycling process.
From 2020 to 2025, ASUS Royal Clubs have cumulatively recycled over 4.5 metric tons of waste mobile devices and related products. In addition, the number of waste mobile phone batteries recycled in 2025 increased by 12.2% compared to 2024, reflecting a significant rise in consumer awareness regarding extending product lifespans and reducing resource waste.
