NCS Renewable is an electronic waste management specialist providing waste diversion and alternative product supply solutions to the country’s most sustainable and environmentally responsible organizations. NCS accomplishes this through education and invocation of best practices in all phases of its business. You see NCS believes the more a responsible organization knows, the more responsible that organization will act.
NCS starts with imaging waste as it’s the largest part of any organization’s consumable electronic waste. Most organizations are surprised to learn of the volume of imaging waste they produce (the average company produces over one ton of it each year). Once traditional volume and handling practices are identified NCS provides a compliance assessment and environmental impact analysis. Organizational and environmental goals are set and an appropriate imaging waste management program is put into effect.
NCS also provides reclamation and zero-landfill recycling solutions for cell phones, cameras, and MP3 players.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
The three R’s of waste management in order of desirability. “Reuse” is what makes NCS and its waste management programs special. Unlike manufacturer mail-back and store return recycling programs, NCS is committed to ensuring reuse opportunities are maximized before any electronic waste is recycled. NCS is able to convert this waste into reusable products and parts to remanufacturers throughout the country. In the case of imaging waste, NCS supplies empty cartridges and parts to the National Cartridge Redistribution Network™
For every ten million cartridges NCS diverts from trash, manufacturer mail-back, and store recycling programs and into the National Cartridge Redistribution Network™ up to 35 million pounds of landfill waste is reduced, one hundred thousand metric tons of CO2 emissions are abated, and nearly ten million gallons of oil are preserved. That’s why NCS Commit to Zero electronic waste programs are now recognized as the standard in the industry.
