3 State of the Waste… 2005 – –21 Million PCs Obsolete in US –2.63M Tons of e-Waste Disposed in US Only 330,000 Tons Recycled! The LANDFILL Where did the other 2.3M Tons go?? Carnegie Mellon and US EPA data

4 Corporate Recycling Costs 3 Levels of recycling commitment Increasing waste streams to increase revenue Incentive? –Revenue –PR

5 Vendor Challenges Vendor Challenges Silicon Wafer Scrap Solder Paste and Wipes Solder Dross Ic Trays, Tubes, Reels Non-ferrous and Precious Metals CRT’s and LCD’s Production Equipment

6 Silicon Wafers Silicon Wafers Patterned vs. Non-patterned Resistivity –Higher is better! Whole or Crushed –Single piece recovery –Crush / Granulate Onsite vs. Partner site destruction Market Opportunity –Market shrinking over next 6 months

7 Solder Dross Solder Dross Lead vs. Lead Free What to manifest? –Solder Wipes, Solder Paste –Level of Generation Complying with ROHS –What cost to comply? Equipment Changeover New waste streams

8 Ic Trays, Tubes and Reels Storage Issues Weight Issues Recovery? Answer: –Reuse –Recycle

9 Production Equipment Resale Value –New Markets –Service Parts Markets –Partners are the Key Recycling Value –Precious Metals –Non-ferrous Metals

10 e-Waste Problems Defined Political Solidarity –Lack of National Plan –Competing Strategies Advanced Recycling Fees Producer Responsible Programs –Classification of e-Waste –Lack of Universal Certification/Best Practices

11 Problems Defined (cont) Insufficient Financial Incentive –Reduce the Cost Concern –Eco-Commerce –Drive Desire towards Responsibility

12 The Solution Revenue-Based Recycling TM Programs –Paradigm Shift 2 Goals: –Simple –Free (or Better!) Simple: Burden of Work transferred to e- Recycler Free (or Better!): Cost center transferred to Revenue center

13 Identifying Partners Local vs. National –Global? Certification and Best Practice –EPA Certification does not exist Insurance Physical Location(s)

14 Identifying Partners (cont) Processing Capability –Insource vs. Outsource Auditable Downstream Expertise & Knowledge of Commodity Markets

15 Case Study Client: Chip Manufacturer –5 th Largest Semiconductor Company in the world –2006 Revenues of $10B Problem: Production Scrap; Manufacturing Waste; IT Equipment; Production Equipment –Multiple Locations –Environmental liabilities –Desire to recapture cost from scrap

16 Case Study (cont) Solution: Revenue-Based Recycling Program –e-Recycler integrated into customer process –Color-coded collection bins –Recycling signage –Full Logistics Services from each location Results: –Reduced waste = Reduced landfill –Revenue Return: 2007 in excess of $180k
