ReCellular Named to 'The Green 50' by Inc. Magazine

3 years 2 months ago

DEXTER, Mich., Nov. 10 -- ReCellular Inc., the world's foremost collector, reseller and recycler of retired wireless phones and accessories, was named to "The Green 50" in the November issue of Inc. Magazine. The publication recognized ReCellular among a prestigious collection of 50 cutting-edge entrepreneurial companies that are showing what it means to run a successful business model and attack the most vital problems of our time. ReCellular was noted for the company's tireless commitment to environmental integrity and for its innovative business strategy.

In the United States, it is estimated that 130 million cell phones will be replaced this year, accounting for 65,000 tons of waste. ReCellular works to keep cell phones out of landfills and collects more than 75,000 cell phones at more than 40,000 drop-off locations around the country each week. The company then reconditions the equipment for resale in developing markets where new equipment is often cost-prohibitive.

"ReCellular has a passion for the environment and strives everyday to collect more of the millions of retired cell phones still in circulation," said Charles Newman, President and CEO of ReCellular Inc. "It is truly an honor to see ReCellular recognized among Inc. Magazine's list of 'The Green 50' as one of the top companies addressing environmental problems. ReCellular is in a unique position that can combine a profitable business, with a useful service and charitable good to provide a win, win, win solution to cell phone recycling."

ReCellular pioneered the first phone recycling programs in 1999 and has since grown into a world leader, with established programs in both North and South America. ReCellular now works with retailers, manufacturers, charitable groups and environmental organizations to create cell phone recycling solutions that benefit the public without impacting retailers in terms of cost or effort.

To date, ReCellular has collected and resold more than 15 million cell phones, and their charitable programs have generated more than $15 million for non-profit organizations.
