Pepsi Pegs Redemtech to Handle Electronic Scrap

The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (PBG) has chosen Redemtech, a Columbus, Ohio-based IT asset recovery company, to handle its electronic waste initiatives. Redemtech will develop and manage the company’s asset recovery and disposition program to prevent PBG electronic equipment from entering landfills.

“With e-waste becoming an increasingly important environmental issue, more companies today are realizing they can be part of the solution rather than the problem,” says Robert Houghton, president and CEO of Redemtech. “The Pepsi Bottling Group has demonstrated a serious commitment to promoting environmental sustainability throughout its business, and we are excited to be partnering with them as the company’s single-source asset disposition provider.”

Redemtech will be responsible for recovering, refurbishing, redeploying, reselling and recycling electronics at all of PBG’s locations in the United States and Canada. The program seeks to reduce the environmental impact of PBG’s electronic waste by recycling in an environmentally responsible manner.

“PBG has always viewed the communities in which we do business as being among our company’s most important stakeholders,” says John Burns, director of environmental management for PBG. “As such, we are committed to meeting the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations. We look forward to working with Redemtech as we continue to advance our environmental sustainability agenda.”
