UPS Introduces Service to Improve Electronics Recycling

UPS Supply Chain Solutions announced a new service to help companies manage the disposition of used and obsolete electronic goods and components.

Through its new Asset Recovery and Recycling Management service, UPS Supply Chain Solutions oversees the final disposition of the electronics through repair, recycling or disposal in an environmentally safe manner, all while controlling logistics-related activities.

UPS's Asset Recovery and Recycling Management service provides companies with a single point of contact, enhanced visibility and tracking and governmentally compliant documentation.

UPS Supply Chain Solutions, through its vendors, also offers resale and remarketing services on behalf of companies for their used electronics.

"Many companies are struggling with how to properly handle used and obsolete electronic goods and their components," said Rocky Romanella, vice president and Americas Region general manager for UPS Supply Chain Solutions. "They know that managing these goods within regulatory guidelines is critical to their post-sales supply chain to increase operational efficiencies and control costs, as well as contribute to a safer environment."
