Kodak And Wal-Mart Announce Kiosk Recycling Program

By TWICE Staff -- TWICE, 2/28/2008

Rochester, N.Y. — Kodak and Wal-Mart said today that they are collaborating on a photo kiosk recycling program.

The companies expect the program to recycle 2 million pounds of thermal printer ribbon, spools and cartridges from roughly 4,100 Wal-Mart and Sam’s Clubs stores in the United States.

Kodak has changed the way its thermal materials are packaged to decrease weight and package size to further reduce its waste.

Earlier this week Wal-Mart named Kodak its supplier of the year in the photo center/electronics category.

  it is good to see this initiative although its mainly a PR stunt,self serving to their largest client,at the end of the day the offer is too slow in customer turn around time,say compared to pxidigital.com offer,which at retail is 2-3 times faster,with better print quality.
  The other issues Kodak need to fix is that any one time in the world up to 30% of these 85,000 on-demand kiosks are down are essentially dumb terminals, that are not network connected/deployed.
