Plano, Texas - October 24,
2006 CRS Printek was
chosen as the
state winner of the 2006 Outstanding Integrated Waste Management System Award
given by the Recycling Alliance of Texas. This award acknowledges CRS Printek’s
improvement of their TEXANS CARE Toner and Inkjet Recycling Program to include a
no landfill policy.
CRS Printek provides for the
reuse of toner cartridges from their take back program for over 5000
toner
customers and from their buy back program, TEXANS CARE, for over 65 different
entities in
the D/FW area such as: computer equipment recyclers, like
Intechra and Ecophones; local
municipalities, like the City of Plano and the
City of Grand Prairie, local non- profit
organizations, like the Plano PTA’s
and the Kaufman County Environmental Co-op, other
corporations and
individuals.
“Our goal has always been a no
landfill policy,” states Julia Kelly, Vice President of CRS Printek.
“Our
first shipment to ARC diverted over 3 tons of waste, resulting in our current
total projection
of 18 tons per year to be diverted.” Most companies just
landfill their toner and inkjet cartridge
waste. CRS Printek is the single
source of compatible toner cartridges in D/FW that can offer a
no landfill
policy for their toner and inkjet cartridge waste stream.
The state-wide award was
presented at 10:30 AM on Wednesday, August 30th, as part of the 9th
Annual
Texas Recycling and Sustainability Summit held at the Omni Corpus Christi
Bayfront
Tower from August 27-30th. The Recycling Alliance of Texas is
dedicated to the furtherance of
natural resource conservation and recycling
to ensure environmental quality and economic
sustainability in
Texas.
