Round2 Inc., headquartered in Austin, Texas, has opened a new processing facility in Atlanta. The 258,000-square-foot electronics recycling facility will increase Round2’s processing capacity by 52 percent and is expected to process more than 4 million pounds of material per month, the company says.
According to Round2, the new facility will allow it to deliver services more efficiently to the Southeastern U.S. market.
“Our strategic expansion into Atlanta creates green jobs and aligns with our commitment to support the National Strategy for Electronics Stewardship developed by U.S. federal agencies, including the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the GSA (General Services Administration),” says Paul Adamson, Round2 vice president of corporate development. “The Metro Atlanta Chamber, Georgia Department of Economic Development and QuickStart Technical College System of Georgia were all very helpful in the site selection process. Over the next 12 months, we plan to hire 200 employees for this electronics redistribution center to divert electronics from landfills and support the U.S. based green economy.”
Round2 has additional processing facilities in Austin and Coppell, Texas, as well as in Grove City, Ohio. The facilities total 496,000 square feet and include the company’s corporate headquarters, a technical operations center and end-of-life processing services.
Round2 is R2 (Responsible Recycling Practices) certified and ISO 9001: 2008, ISO 14001: 2004 and OHSAS 18001: 2007 registered.
