Recycler encourages businesses, individuals and organisations to recycle e-waste for chance to win cash prize.
Virtual Strategy Magazine reports that Planet Green has launched a Spring Recycle Challenge for all organisations, individuals and business currently participating in the programme who want to raise awareness of their recycling programme with the company; with those competing in the challenge being eligible for a chance to win one of three $250 (€191) cash prizes for recycling inkjets, mobile phones and small electronic devices.
The challenge has been set by Planet Green to celebrate Earth Day and create more awareness of recycling, with the company estimating that there is around 2.5 million tons of e-waste dumped in landfills each year, despite much of it being recyclable.
Arica Rosenthal, Director of Marketing for Planet Green Recycle, said: “The way we are going to change habits is thinking globally and acting locally. We need to focus on educating our own communities and realise that we can make a difference by keeping even just our own e-waste items out of the landfills and recycling them properly.”
