Cascade Asset Management LLC, Madison, Wisc., has moved into a larger space to allow it to handle as much as 150,000 pounds of electronic scrap each month.
The new location on the east side of Madison gives Cascade Asset Management 20,000 square feet of processing and warehouse space. The company also operates a cathode ray tube (CRT) recycling plant in a separate facility that can handle leaded glass scrap.
The three-year-old company has handled more than three million pounds of electronic scrap since its inception, and anticipates continued steady business. “We are only one of a handful of firms in the U.S. that can offer closed-loop glass-to-glass recycling of old CRTs,” says Neil Peters-Michaud, founder and co-owner of Cascade.
The technology used by Cascade at its CRT recycling facility allows it convert scrap CRTs into a cullet that is cleaned and sold back to CRT manufacturers in the U.S. to make new picture tubes.
The firm’s equipment testing, refurbishing and data destruction services will benefit from a tracking system used at the new facility. Nearly 500 businesses have contracts with Cascade for the demanufacturing and recycling of obsolete computer equipment. The company also conducts a residential computer round up in coordination with the City of Madison and Dane County each fall.
