RecycleForce

Helping reduce recidivism while creating a world without waste.

Various forms of difficult-to-recycle plastics come from e-waste. Without a feasible recycling solution, that plastic is destined for landfills or incinerators or ends up in the environment. However, thanks to our partners at RecycleForce, we’re recycling the plastic components from e-waste while helping RecycleForce fulfill its goal of reducing recidivism.

Creating a world without waste

By working with RecycleForce, we’re recycling the difficult-to-recycle plastic components from televisions, computers, cellphones, and more, while also contributing to RecycleForce’s mission and goals.
