Electronic Recyclers International (ERI), the nation’s leading recycler
of electronic waste, announced today that it has for the sixth
consecutive year been named an honoree of the state’s prestigious Waste
Reduction Award Program (WRAP).
The WRAP Awards are an annual program established in 1993 by the
California Integrated Waste Management Board, now CalRecycle, to
recognize California businesses that have made outstanding efforts to
reduce waste and send less garbage to state landfills.
“We are extremely proud to once again be recognized by the State of
California for our waste reduction efforts,” said John Shegerian, ERI’s
Chairman and CEO. “That it is our sixth consecutive year to be honored
with the WRAP Award is a testament to our constant commitment to the
proper disposal of electronic waste and the hazards it presents to our
environment. We are passionate about doing everything we can, beyond our
industry-leading e-waste recycling efforts, to be a green and
sustainable organization as well. From the electric forklifts in our
facility to the energy efficient lighting to recycled office furniture
to the fleet of hybrid cars our sales team drives, being in touch with
our green DNA is something we instill among all our employees. We will
exhibit our sixth consecutive WRAP Award with great pride.”
According to CalRecycle, the WRAP awards are given to businesses that
develop progressive and creative programs that reduce the amount of
waste sent to landfills. To show the State's appreciation of their
efforts, ERI will receive an official WRAP award certificate and will
become authorized to use the WRAP logo in advertising and promotion
throughout 2011.
