During our weekly visit to the library, we deposited an empty ink cartridge into the recycling box positioned just inside the entrance of the Tampines Regional Library.
Don't just throw your empty ink or toner cartridge down the bin - recycle it!
I’d just used up the black ink cartridge on my ink jet printer at home.
In the past, there wouldn’t have been any other choice but to dump it with other domestic refuse down the chute.
Recycle bin at the library.
But with Project Homecoming, I can do my own little part to conserve the environment by sending the expended cartridge for recycling.
Project Homecoming is an ink and toner cartridge recycling initiative that is led, managed and jointly funded by the five leading printer brands – Brother, Canon, Dell, Epson and Lexmark.
The initiative is supported by National Environment Agency and National Library Board of Singapore.
Recycling bins made from cardboards have been placed at 13 NLB libraries where the public can deposit used ink and toner cartridges.

At first, I didn’t spot the recycling bin at Tampines Regional Library so I asked the librarian at the counter, wondering if she’d know what I was asking about.
She knew exactly what was going on for Project Homecoming and promptly pointed out the inconspicuous recycling bin squatting just inside the entrance.
I got junior to drop the empty cartridge in, after explaining to him how he would be doing his little part in helping conserve the Earth.
I’m also mighty glad that National Library Board has done a stellar job getting its staff to be aware of the initiative.
Bravo!

The aim to make it easier for the public to recycle their used ink and toner cartridges.
This is the first time globally outside Japan that these five brands have come together to initiate a joint recycling project.
“We aim to bring greater convenience to the public who are keen on making a personal contribution to recycling efforts across the island, and are proud to be working together as a team to jointly fund and promote the culture of recycling in Singapore,” said Andrew Koh, lead spokesperson for Project Homecoming and Senior Director and General Manager, Consumer Imaging & Information Products Division, Canon Singapore.
“With strong support from the NEA and NLB, we will be able to give back to society through this initiative as socially responsible organisations, while driving home the message of environmental awareness through cartridge recycling as part of joint sustainability efforts from the printing industry.”
Project Homecoming will provide easily accessible cartridge recycling bins at 13 NLB libraries where the public can deposit used ink and toner cartridges from printers of any brand for recycling – even those of other brands not in the Project Homecoming partnership.
The cartridges are then periodically collected for proper recycling.

Recycling vendors of the joint initiative will collect the cartridges from the boxes and break down recyclable parts including plastics and metal, which can then be made into other products such as pens or petroleum coke (high-grade fuel).
These recycling processes will help minimise waste, landfill and pollution while maximising the recovery of valuable resources.

Newstead Technologies has opened a new multi-brand IT concept store in Funan DigitaLife Mall today. “Digital Style” is organised into six thematic zones, based on the needs of the modern IT consumer.
This is in keeping with the times – since consumers today have different purchasing habits and approaches.
This is the first of a chain of such stores. Eventually, there will likely be four to five such stores geographically distributed around Singapore, according to Evelyn Chua, Business Development and Marketing Manager of Newstead Technologies.
The 2,647 square feet store is located at #03-32 of the mall and opens from 11 am to 8 pm from Tuesdays to Sundays, and 11 am to 7 pm on Mondays.
The six themes are Entertainment & Media, Gaming, Home Computing, Mobile Communications, Office & Professional, and Ultra Mobile & Business.
The focus is on allowing shoppers to try out, for themselves, different products in the themes they are interested in.
For instance, in the gaming kiosk, the whole spectrum of gaming related gadgets and peripherals – from consoles, laptops, speakers and controllers – are displayed, for shoppers to mix-and-match and plug-and-play the various components together at one-stop.
Across the various themes, products are featured from all the major brands, including Acer, Asus, BlackBerry, Dell, Fujitsu, HP, HTC, Lenovo, Logitech, Microsoft, Motorola, Panasonic, Samsung, Toshiba and others.
Apple related products are absent, so you’ll have to visit authorised Apple resellers, such as Nubox, which is also under Newstead Technologies.
I noticed that digital cameras and video cameras are not sold at the shop.
Update (24 February, 2012): Newstead Technologies has opened its second and bigger Digital Style store in Jurong Point. The next will be at The Star Vista towards the end of 2012.

Two new tablets based on Android 3.1 will hit the shelves in the U.S. Lenovo, China’s largest maker of personal computers, will be launching the IdeaPad Tablet K1 (from $499) and the Thinkpad Tablet (from $479).
Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet K1 (from $499), orders from July 20, 2011; and the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet (from $479), available from August 2.
Lenovo began sales of its LePad tablet in China in March. Its two new tablet devices will be competing in a tightly fought market dominated by Apple’s iPad.
Lenovo's IdeaPad Tablet P1, based on Windows 7, is coming this fall.
Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Lenovo, the world’s three biggest makers of PCs, are introducing new tablets as the popularity of Apple’s iPad eats into demand for desktop and notebook computers.
Gartner reports that global PC shipments rose 2.3 percent in the three months ended June – much less than the 6.7 percent increase predicted by the research house.
Although the two tablets uses the Android operating system from Google, Lenovo plans to launch a new tablet- the IdeaPad Tablet K1 – in the fourth quarter based on the Windows 7 operating system from Microsoft.
