WASHINGTON–(Business Wire)–
Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), the nation`s leading recycler of
electronic waste, has been named to Green America`s prestigious “Green Business
Network” and is now listed in the organization`s National Green Pages Green
business Directory at www.GreenPages.org.
To become an approved member of the Green Business Network and become listed on
the GreenPages, organizations must be deemed by Green America to be “operating
in ways that solve, rather than cause, environmental and social problems.”
“The Green Business Network is proud to welcome Electronic Recyclers
International into its celebrated roster of approved companies,” said Rebecca
Shaloff, Screening Director for Green America. “Earning the Green America Seal
of Approval signifies that this business is at the forefront of their industry
in implementing environmentally sustainable and socially just practices.”
“It`s an honor and privilege to be recognized by Green America as a member of
the esteemed Green Business Network,” said John Shegerian, ERI`s Chairman and
CEO. “We decided when we first got into this business that we would focus on our
green DNA with everything we do – from the electric forklifts on our shop floor
to the energy efficient lighting in our facilities. The very nature of
electronic recycling is a green business, where we encourage businesses and
consumers to behave in a sustainable fashion. So it has always made sense to
practice what we preach and maintain a sustainable, green operation. In this
promising new world of urban mining, where we can harvest commodities and
natural resources from unwanted electronics, it makes perfect sense to set an
example by being responsible social and green citizens. We are very proud of
that.”
