Abt Electronics - Environmental Practices

Environmental Practices

In 2006 the company built a recycling center which collects the company's used cardboard, plastic and plastic-foam packaging and prepares it to be sold for recycling. The recycling center processes 150 loads of Styrofoam and 200 loads of cardboard per week. Abt also recycles 20,000 wood pallets and plastic bags per week and is in the process of installing two small wind turbines and solar panels on the roof to help reduce energy costs at their store. Abt finished installing the wind turbines and solar panels in late 2008.
