Staples Advantage launched a technology
recycling service for businesses to recycle old electronics. The first of its
kind in the industry, the program, offered in partnership with Electronic Recyclers International, Inc. (ERI) allows businesses of all sizes to recycle
large volumes of electronics conveniently, responsibly and in a secure
manner.
Many electronic devices become unwanted,
non-working, or obsolete within a few years of use, compounding the global
volume of e-waste, which is expected to more than double by 2016, reaching 93.5
million tons compared to 41.5 million tons in 2011, according to the EPA.
