Under the contract, Image Microsystems has agreed to provide secure and responsible recycling of the City’s IT assets.
Image Microsystems has released MicroStrate sign substrate, made completely of recycled e-waste plastic.
The company combines dirty plastic found in spent printer cartridges, computers or other electronics and converts it into resilient, earth-friendly traffic and way-finding signage.
Dirty plastic is considered valueless in the recycling supply chain and as a result frequently ends up in landfills or incinerated.
Image Microsystems CEO Alex Abadi said the contract from the City of Austin allows the company to eliminate domestic landfilling and overseas dumping of e-waste.
Image Microsystems is a reverse logistics and technology restoration firm that provides solutions to eliminate the legal, financial, and environmental risk associated with information technology and consumer electronics reclamation, recycling, and disposal.
