Electronic Recyclers CEO Addresses EnviroBiz National Waste Summit.

John S. Shegerian Speaks to Industry Experts on Current and Future State of e-waste

TAMPA, Fla. -- John S. Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of Electronic Recyclers, Inc. (ERI), discussed electronics recycling and "e-waste" at the Envirobiz Special & Universal Waste Management Summit today at the Grand Hyatt in Tampa Bay.

Addressing the nation's elite waste industry executives, Shegerian stressed the mounting environmental problems caused by the glut of our nation's e-waste and pledged to work with all sectors of the industry to effectively and responsibly dispose and recycle of unwanted electronic items such as computer devices, televisions and monitors.

The Envirobiz Summit is an annual meeting for CEOs and waste industry executives to discuss the challenges, opportunities, outlooks and trends in the management of waste. The event, jointly sponsored by the Chartwell Solid Waste Digest & the EI Hazardous Waste Digest, the leading trade magazines of the solid waste management industry, is designed to help waste management executives develop strategic outlooks for their current special services, as well as the additional services that will likely be needed by their customers in the future.

"It's a great honor to have been asked to present at the Envirobiz Summit and to discuss the urgency of electronic waste before such an esteemed and influential audience," said Shegerian. "Electronic waste is a growing problem that affects the environment and human health across the globe. Properly disposing of electronic waste and the hazards it presents represents a great challenge and opportunity for the entire solid waste industry. The State of California passed landmark legislation, creating a regional infrastructure to manage this problem - and our great hope is that soon the entire country will follow suit. Until then, we must strive to keep these potentially toxic materials from our landfills."
