Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), the nation’s leading recycler of electronic waste, received the prestigious “Electronic Recycler of the Year” award last week at this year’s International Electronics Recycling Conference & Expo.
ERI’s commitment to sustainable business and globally responsible recycling of electronics was applauded by the 700 industry professionals from nearly 20 nations in attendance.
“We look to ERI as an example of what the best people and technology can get done in the world of electronic recycling,” said Ismail Oyekan, Program Director of the International Electronics Recycling Expo. “Electronic waste from surplus and end of life assets represent the fastest growing waste streams globally. Our event is designed to bring together leading experts in an ideal platform to learn new market trends and exchange best practice ideas. ERI is the genuine leader in the field and its involvement proving us with speakers at our event has dramatically helped to educate our core audience of electronics recyclers from North and South America, Europe and other parts of the globe.”
“It’s truly a humbling honor to be recognized as the leader in our industry,” said John S. Shegerian, ERI’s Chairman and CEO. “That we received the recognition at this terrific, forward thinking event, the International Electronics Recycling Conference & Expo, makes it even more special because we know those monitoring our industry the closest are the ones who have decided to single us out. We congratulate the organizers of this event for bringing together the planet’s top electronic recyclers for an exchange of ideas. At ERI, we work every day to make sure we are setting an example of sustainability and environmental responsibility that we hope all electronic recyclers follow. This kind of recognition helps inspire our entire team to continue with that cause.”
