Used electronic products are the most rapidly growing problem in our wastestream, due to their quantity and toxicity. These e-wastes, such as televisions, computers and computer components, contain toxic substances, including lead and mercury, and PVC plastics that create dioxins when burned. These toxic materials can be released upon disposal, posing a threat to human health and the environment.
We are helping combat this mounting problem, providing a solution that helps all. The environmental benefits are obvious, UPS units are kept out of landfills and their hazardous components never make it into our air, soil and water. Our customers also get the satisfaction of knowing that they are, in no small way, helping to preserve the earth. Not to mention that they are getting a product which is often better than a brand new unit.
As an industry leader in UPS lifecycle management, CoastTec adheres to a strict environmental policy and is committed to keeping e-waste out of landfills. To demonstrate this commitment, CoastTec is R2:2013 and RIOS certified, which is only awarded to companies that show transparent and continual responsibility to toxic material management, all the way to end of life.
