What have the Plug-In To eCycling Program partners achieved?
As a result of their collaborative efforts in 2007, Plug-In partners recycled or reused over 47 million pounds of electronics from consumers, mostly computers, televisions, and cell phones. The environmental benefit of recycling these electronics is equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions from approximately 24,000 passenger cars. Since the Plug- In program’s inception in 2003, partners have recycled over 142 million pounds of electronics via collaborative and voluntary efforts.
