Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to Deliver Key Note Address at E-Cycler's Grand Opening
Morrisville, NC - April 03, 2009
Creative Recycling Systems, an industry leader in the recycling of end-of-life and obsolete electronics, will host Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. when it celebrates the Grand Opening of its Morrisville facility on April 10. The state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the best available technology for the processing of computers, monitors, televisions and the thousands of other electronic products that it keeps out of landfills and the waste stream.
The IS0 14001 Certified facility processes material from across the Eastern United States. Located near the Research Triangle Park, the facility's E-Scrap Processing System, affectionately referred to as David II, transforms e-scrap into recyclable commodities destined for world class end markets. Complimenting David II is the CRT Angel, a revolutionary system that processes cathode ray tubes (CRTs) from televisions and computer monitors.
"It's an honor to have Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. attend and speak at our event," said Jon Yob, President and CEO of Creative Recycling Systems. "His passion and commitment to the environment mirror our own. A lot of time and hard work has been put into making this facility what is today, the solution to a global environmental problem."
Mr. Kennedy's reputation as a defender of the environment stems from a litany of successful legal actions. Mr. Kennedy was named one of Time magazine's "Heroes for the Planet" for his success helping the advocacy group Riverkeeper lead the fight to restore the Hudson River. The group's achievement helped spawn more than 130 Waterkeeper organizations across the globe.
