Environmental concerns, high
commodity prices and increased regulation are making technology recycling
increasingly attractive and viable. While the recession reduced consumer demand
for products in general, demand for products manufactured with recycled goods
has risen over the past five years. As a result, the Recycling Facilities
industry has experienced sustained growth. Further, in the next five years,
demand will continue rising, as new regulations require manufacturers to use
more recycled goods as a part of their overall business strategy. However, as
of 2008, this industry has only captured 13.6% of total technology goods that
could be recycled.
