FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Don’t throw that computer in the landfill!
Newton, MA – July 9, 2010 – One of the downsides of rapidly evolving digital technology is the compressed cycle of obsolescence. Lifespan Technology Recycling® and GlobalWare Solutions have entered into a partnership to expedite the recycling of digital components to help keep the planet green while turning those used electronics into a revenue stream for their clients.
One of its customers is a worldwide leader in storage and network security solutions thathas sold over 410 million digital storage drives and disks alone. With products ranging from hard drives to disks to DVD components to flash memory sticks, the company had found itself with an ever- expanding inventory of refurbished items, but no sales channels to move these types of products.
Enter the strategic alliance of Lifespan and GlobalWare. Together the two are delivering a competitive advantage to technology companies by selling and delivering assets that previously had no or little recognizable value directly to both consumers and wholesalers. Customers like the one mentioned above are transforming the costs associated with inventory management into an on-going revenue stream.
GlobalWare brings its expertise in shipping, global logistics and supply chain management. The company has a state-of-the-art fulfillment system featuring a proprietary software platform which provides its clients with real time inventory management coupled with industry standard accuracy and transparency. Lifespan provides their experience in electronic asset retirement and the all-important worldwide sales channels for these refubished goods and recycled raw materials.
Dag Adamson, President of Lifespan, says “This is one of the best things you can do for the environment – getting end-of-life electronic products back into the marketplace so they don’t end up in landfills, here or overseas. Our clients benefit from reduced inventory and increased revenues. Plus, the environment benefits because we are recycling, selling refurbished products, and converting parts back into raw materials.”
“This is a very synergistic fit,” says GlobalWare Solutions CEO, David Beatson. “Our partnership is a win-win-win situation for us, our customers. and the planet.”
Based upon its initial success with only a handful of products from this one customer alone, Lifespan and GlobalWare anticipate significant revenue growth as its handles a wider array of this market leader’s product lines and those of other technology companies with similar challenges.
