Axcelis Technologies, Inc. received the 2001 Recycler of the Year Award from Maryland's Montgomery County Department of Public Works for its exemplary waste recycling efforts. The award recognizes Axcelis' commitment to protecting the environment, and follows the company's ISO 14001 International Environmental Certification last year.
Axcelis' Rockville facility recycles 54% of its non-hazardous waste, reuses its packaging materials and has maintained strong recycling efforts for two consecutive years. The Recycler of the Year Award is given to companies and organizations that recycle at least 50% of waste.
Montgomery County requires all businesses and multi-family properties to recycle. The Recycler of the Year Award program recognizes those groups that have taken actions to recycle beyond the minimum requirements. Award recipients are determined based on mandatory reporting by organizations and waste companies.
