Environmental Health & Safety

At TCG, we believe in taking extraordinary care to recycle, recover and reuse every part of what’s sent to us. In fact, virtually 100% of our intake is indeed recycled, recovered or reused, with less than one percent – all biodegradable – sent to the landfill.

TCG is committed to:

• Developing and maintaining quality, environmental, health & safety and security programs that conform to the best practices within the IT asset disposition and electronics recycling industry;

• Complying with all relevant regulations of the countries importing equipment, components, or materials containing Focus Materials that have passed through our facility or control;
• Complying with customer and product requirements and industry guidelines, including the Responsible Recycling (R2) practices;
• Managing used and end-of-life electronics equipment, components and materials based on a hierarchy of first, reuse/refurbish; second, materials recovery; and finally, energy recovery/disposal;
• Managing the R2 focus materials that pass through our facility or control in a manner protective of worker health and safety, public health and the environment;
