ROCHESTER, N.Y.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) today announced its new [ Trade-In and Recycling Program ] that allows U.S. customers to safely and responsibly dispose of consumer electronics products they no longer use. The program accepts a wide range of consumer electronics from any brand including printers, digital cameras, digital video cameras and digital picture frames, as well as camera accessories such as lenses and flashes.

"Sustainability is an essential business driver for Kodak and an important part of our product development process"

Through the KODAK Trade-In and Recycling Program, consumers can trade-in used products for cash.

For products with no resale value, consumers are provided with responsible recycling options. [ SMASH Direct ], a leading provider of online trade-in programs, is the fulfillment partner for the program and worked closely with Kodak on its implementation.
