Electronic waste, discarded televisions, computers, cell phones, etc., is the fastest growing waste stream.
Product is de-manufactured, sorted into one of several basic material components, shredded, bundled for shipment and then eight million pounds of processed product is shipped monthly to third-world manufacturers for reuse.
Only one percent of gross product, pressed wood from older electronic equipment, can’t be recycled and therefore ends up in a landfill.
Many of the companies’ employees are parolees. The company is making an effort to return lives to productive use.
Every attempt is made to make the companies buildings, equipment and fleet of vehicles green as well.
