New Compact Disc Recycling Program Aims to Help Control Pollution, Conserve Natural Resources and Slow Global Warming.
April 19, 2007 (Press Release) --
Salem, NH April, 15 – Superdups said today that it will launch on Earth Day, April 22, a new division and campaign that is named The Compact Disc Recycling Center of America. This new center invites consumers and companies to mail in their unwanted CDs and DVDs for recycling. The campaign will promote the importance of recycling compact discs, provide a location to send them, and increase community awareness of related environmental issues caused by unwanted discs being placed in the trash. The Recycling Center’s website, www.cdrecyclingcenter.com is designed to build a national network of registered members and supporters that pledge to recycle their disc waste.
“Each year over 30 billion CDs and DVDs are still being manufactured, while millions of unwanted, damaged and obsolete discs end up in landfills and incinerators every month.” States Bruce Bennett, founder of The Compact Disc Recycling Center of America. “It is important for those individuals or companies that use, sell, manufacture or promote compact discs to also responsibly promote how and where to recycle them.”
When compacts discs are placed in the trash, it is harmful to the environment. When discs are recycled properly, it will help stop unnecessary pollution, conserve natural resources, and slow global warming. The plastic used in compact discs can be recycled into other everyday items, including household products, building materials, and auto parts.
Bennett states “I feel the main reason people are throwing out unwanted CDs and DVDs is that they simply don’t know what else to do with them. Now they can learn the importance of disc recycling, and also have a place to send them. They can send us one or one million discs and we’ll accept and recycle them.” Bennett also notes that the Recycling Center will accept discs still in their original packaging. The center will separate and recycle any paper components of the package as well. The Center asks that new members place The CD Recycling Center logo on any new compact disc releases, thus promoting to the end user how and where to recycle the disc when they are finished using it.
The Center asks that people visit their recycling website, www.cdrecyclingcenter.com, and sign in as a supporter. They would then print out a mailing label and simply mail or ship their disc waste to the collection center. Once the center receives the discs to recycle, it will post on their website the receipt of the discs, and list that supporter as a official Registered Member of The Compact Disc Recycling Center that has actively recycled disc material. The center encourages members to use and promote The CD Recycling Center logo, which will help actively promote the awareness to recycle compact discs.
The Compact Disc Recycling Center was founded in 2006 by Bruce Bennett, owner of The American Duplication Supply Group, including Superdups, New England Compact Disc and American Duplication Supply. Contact Lisa at 603-890-8996 x14.
