What We Don’t Do

Not all recyclers are the same. The environmental philosophy of “Rethink, Recycle, Reuse” has been interpreted differently.

Some recyclers take the approach that if they decide there isn’t any value in a product then they discard it or ship it elsewhere. That means they are potentially dumping toxic electronics into domestic or offshore landfills or using incinerators—polluting our environment and exposing their clients to risk.

Sixty Minutes recently exposed this dirty little recycling secret.

Why We Don’t Shred
Some recyclers use large industrial shredders which produce 60 – 70% of recyclable material. The low numbers are a result of cross contamination of toxins, plastic, glass and metals which can not be sold as a usable commodity. The remaining 30 – 40% of unusable material is dumped into a domestic or offshore landfill.
