1,994,153 pounds of e-waste, to be exact.

We have to admit, we’re pretty darn proud of that number. It’s a numerical testament to our commitment to “going green” and reducing global electronics waste. How much is 1.99 million pounds? Try 181 African Elephants. Over 15 jumbo jets (747s). The Statue of Liberty multiplied four and a half times.

Our environmental initiatives don’t stop there, either. We’re constantly tweaking our TV teardown processes and business practices to recycle as much as possible. In fact, we also recycled 3,255 pounds of paper and 1,290 pounds of beverage containers last year.

All of these environmental-friendly steps coincide with our recent ISO 14001 certification, which addresses and establishes guidelines to minimize our company’s impact on the environment. If you’re looking to join us in our quest to reduce e-waste, check out these sources for more information:
