“It is an honor and a privilege to have once again been chosen to be the official electronics recycler for CES – truly, the must-attend event of the electronics industry,” said John Shegerian, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of ERI. “This collection effort with our friends at Samsung, CTA and the Salvation Army on January 4th will help promote responsible recycling while preventing unwanted electronics from ending up in landfills. We’re excited to kick off a new decade with such a great example of organizations pooling their resources for the common good.”
Attendees will be able to dispose of their unwanted electronics in an environmentally responsible way free of charge.
“Samsung is committed to building on its record of responsible recovery and recycling of e-waste,” said Mark Newton, Head of Environmental, Regulatory Affairs, and Sustainability at Samsung Electronics America. “With the help of partners like ERI and CTA, we have recycled over 100 million pounds of e-waste throughout the U.S. in 2018 alone, and more than 1 billion pounds since 2008. We continue to expand programs to reach our global goal of taking back more than 15 billion pounds of electronics by 2030.”
