Veolia Environmental Services And Osram Sylvania Launch Partnership To Provide Environmentally Responsible Recycling Service for Lighting and Electronics Waste

Sugar Land, TX - Veolia Environmental Services (VES) North America, a subsidiary of the Veolia Group (Paris, France), recently announced a partnership with OSRAM SYLVANIA (Danvers, MA) to jointly promote Veolia's award-winning lighting and electronics recycling program online. OSRAM SYLVANIA is offering the sale of RECYCLEPAK on its website, www.sylvania.com, thereby expanding its range of lighting and recycling solutions. This business agreement reinforces the commitment of both VES and OSRAM SYLVANIA to advancing environmental sustainability.

Formerly known as OnyxPak, RECYCLEPAK is the perfect recycling and disposal solution for small quantities of lighting wastes, such as fluorescent lamps and ballasts. Prepaid packaging allows for a convenient way for small businesses to manage their lighting waste, with one price covering all the necessary requirements.

RECYCLEPAK ships supplies to and from the customer's facility, and processes all documentation, including certificates of recycling. The pre-paid recycling program ensures complete compliance with state and local disposal regulations while reducing the risks associated with improper storage.

In addition to lighting waste, RECYCLEPAK also provides a recycling and disposal solution for electronics waste, including batteries, computer electronics and mercury containing items.

Recycling promotes the most efficient use of our resources. By separating items into their components and reusing the components and by-products, we are reducing waste and diverting waste from landfills, saving energy, and conserving our resources. Veolia Environmental Services, working on behalf of the environment, is committed to minimizing the pollution impact of our own daily activities and to the use of waste as a resource by expanding recycling, composting and renewable energy production.
