Plug-In To eCycling Partners
Plug-In partners demonstrate leadership and social responsibility by offering individuals opportunities to protect the environment by safely reusing and recycling consumer electronics.
Since the program began in 2003, Plug-In To eCycling partners have recycled more than 360 million pounds of electronics, including televisions, computers and cell phones. View highlights of each partners 2009 accomplishments.
All Plug-In To eCycling partners* have committed to:
- Supporting an electronics reuse or recycling program available to household consumers;
- Educating consumers about their program; and
- Safely managing the electronics they collect by ensuring that the electronics refurbishers and recyclers they use follow the Guidelines for Materials Management.
Since Plug-In To eCyclings inception in 2003, manufacturers and retailers have expanded their programs from event-based collections to include tailored electronics reuse and recycling programs. These programs provide consumers with additional eCycling options.
