Recycling/disposal
CTL is committed to doing its part to ensure a safe and healthy environment. CTL products are designed to be highly recyclable, including design for disassembly for recycling with commonly available tools and compliance with RoHS requirements for reducing and eliminating hazardous substances from the product bill of materials.
While CTL works hard to ensure that hazardous materials are kept out of solid waste and wastewater by eliminating them from the product bill of materials, we also ensure that products are recycled in an environmentally friendly manner at end of life. CTL has a robust take back recycling / e-waste recovery program that has been in operation since November 2004. To-date CTL’s e-waste recovery program has recovered over 2,500,000 pounds of e-waste.
CTL ensures that recycling is conducted in a manner consistent with EPA recycling guidelines; the European Union’s WEEE Directive regarding the recycling or reuse of old equipment and with federal, state and local regulations regarding disposal of electronic equipment by utilizing an R2 certified recycler. E-waste recyclers meeting the R2 certification must demonstrate environmentally responsible e-waste recycling practices through detailed documentation and a regular series of audits.
Customers can request a printed or electronic copy of a certificate of destruction for all equipment that CTL takes back.
CTL is offering these recycling/disposal services free of charge for each end-of-life CTL product sold on this contract.
