John S. Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers, Inc. (ERI), discussed electronics recycling and “e-waste” at the ThinkEquity Partners LLC 2007 Growth Conference (G5) at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco today.
Addressing an audience of investors and financial analysts looking for specific insights into the biggest trends of emerging growth industries, Shegerian stressed the mounting environmental problems caused by the increase of our nation’s e-waste and explained the long-range national and international potential of electronic recycling as a viable business and emerging global industry.
The Growth Conference is a four day event showcasing leading executives from the world’s most innovative growth companies as they share their expertise and success stories.
ThinkEquity Partners’ Annual Growth Conference and symposium for the leaders of the growth economy features senior executives from some of the fastest-growing, most innovative companies in the world. CEO’s from 200 leading public and private companies from the economy’s top growth sectors- including greentech, new media, high tech, life sciences, and consumer products and services- present their latest developments and innovations, while thought leaders from industry, government, and business discuss their vision for the future.
“It’s a great honor to have been asked to present at ThinkEquity Partners’ Growth Conference and to discuss the promise of electronic recycling before such an influential financial community audience,” said Shegerian. “The planet’s increasing glut of electronic waste is a problem that’s time for resolution has come. Properly disposing of electronic waste and the hazards it presents has become the touchstone for a major new industry with local, national and global implications. When the State of California passed landmark legislation a couple years ago, they created a regional infrastructure to manage this problem. Many other states – and many other nations – are moving in the direction of following suit. With the growing global concern about e-waste, the sky is the limit for this burgeoning industry.”
