The electronics recycling company Image Microsystems, based in Austin, Texas, has acquired a new facility in Kyle, Texas. The company says it expects the 100,000-square-foot plant to enhance Image’s asset recovery, recycling and MicroStrate sign substrate manufacturing capabilities. The announcement is being made in conjunction with the company's sponsorship and speaking engagement at the GreenGov 2011 Symposium being held in Washington, D.C.
“We are excited about the opportunity to increase our e-waste recycling and MicroStrate signage manufacturing capabilities,” Alex Abadi, Image Microsystems CEO, says. "We're honored to be sponsoring and speaking at the GreenGov 2011 Symposium and chose this event to announce our expansion.
“Our new Kyle plant is just the first of five planned e-waste recycling and MicroStrate sign substrate manufacturing facilities we have planned," Abadi continues. "Due to the overwhelming demand for our MicroStrate signage, as well as the growth of our asset recovery business, we're launching a dramatic expansion program that will eventually include the investment of over $30 million and facilities in California, Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania in addition to the Kyle plant. Once our extensive remodeling process has been completed in Kyle, we'll be able to process over a quarter million pounds of e-waste plastic daily."
Patent-pending MicroStrate sign substrate is made completely of recycled plastic from electronic scrap. According to Image Microsystems, the product is the result of extensive investment in research and development. The company combines dirty plastic found in spent printer cartridges and other electronics and converts it into MicroStrate signage.
