Metrofuser Celebrates Earth Day – Achieves Another Environmental Milestone

Metrofuser Celebrates Earth Day – Achieves Another Environmental Milestone
Metrofuser spent earth week celebrating its reclamation of over 600,000 pounds of used computer hardware through its recycling program since the company’s inception in 2004.

In July, 2006, Metrofuser had announced its reclamation of over 240,000 pounds and set a goal of 500,000 by the end of 2007.
“We are elated that we not only met our goal set in ’06, but we have far exceeded it,” said Will DeMuth, Co-President, “Contributing to a cleaner environment, establishing ourselves as an environmentally responsible corporate citizen, and continuing to raise the bar to increase responsibility industry-wide.”
As promised in 2006, Metrofuser continued to expand its program through 2007 by raising awareness and increasing the rate of electronics recycling among its business consumers in the United States. “Optimally, we want to achieve a 100% recycling rate, and we will strive to improve and continue to expand the program until we meet that goal.” Last year the imaging recycling industry saved 131 million pounds of solid waste from our nations landfills.
