For almost a year now, TechSmart has committed to helping to solve this global crisis. We partner with an EPA Certified recycler that ships 0% of it’s components overseas and recycles every component it receives. No, this isn’t a cheap process, and we do charge $5-$10 per component; but we believe it to be a small price to pay when you see what is at stake.
We believe that as leaders in the field of technology, it is our duty to lead by example and not wait for government mandates on this issue. Technology is an investment, and that investment doesn’t end with the initial purchase. We believe it is our responsibility as technology users to assure that what we use isn’t destructive to the world around us after we are done with it, as well as think forward of what investments will leave the smallest footprints for the next generation.
We don’t offer gimmicks or tricks. Just the truth- if you are concerned about what will soon be a global crisis and want to do something about it- start at your company, at your home. We’ll be there to help.
