John S. Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers, Inc. (ERI), discussed electronics recycling and “e-waste” today at the Tenth Annual Needham Growth Conference at the New York Palace Hotel.
Addressing an audience of investors and financial analysts looking for specific insights into the biggest trends among 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.
“It’s a great honor to have been asked to present at the Needham 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. As more and more businesses are getting in touch with their green DNA, we believe our young industry can have substantial impact.”
