The Electronics Recycling Division (ERD) of Veolia Environmental Services North America has announced a winner of its Environmental Stewardship Award for 2006. Rinchem Company, Inc., a chemical management services provider based in Albuquerque, N.M., is one of this year’s recipients.
Each year, Veolia’s ERD selects customers from each region that have exhibited a dedication to environmental stewardship that goes above and beyond that of a simple recycling program.
