Reuse of Recovered Plastics in the Electronics OEM Industry
With our proprietary plastics processing line, we have significantly improved conventional recycling to truly close the loop for plastics recycling. Effectively separating different plastic types allows electronic manufacturers to reuse recycled plastic in producing new products. Separated plastic from our recycling line is then used by compounders to produce plastic granulates that are used to make new electronics and increase the participation of large electronic OEMs in the circular economy. This is a huge step forward in sustainable recycling as plastics are one of the most problematic materials to recycle from electronics.

Sustainability is achieving economic development that benefits the environment and community. The triple bottom line (TBL) expands organizational and societal success metrics beyond economics to include environmental and social impacts. TBL accounting considers a company's responsibilities to stakeholders. The Global Reporting Initiative established a framework for standardized TBL reporting on economic, environmental, and social performance to make sustainability reporting routine like financial reporting. TBL reporting helps organizations strategically manage corporate social responsibility.
Corporate social responsbility
This document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR). It defines CSR as businesses fulfilling their duty to care for society and integrating social and environmental concerns into their operations. International organizations see CSR as companies voluntarily managing processes to have an overall positive societal impact. Benefits of CSR include winning new business, attracting employees, and enhancing reputation. The document outlines CSR initiatives focused on markets, products, employees, society, and the environment. While some argue CSR lowers profits, others say it balances corporate power, discourages regulation, and promotes long-term profits. Guidelines are provided for practical CSR application.
Csr ppt
