Genesis Electronics Recycling, Inc
151 Hastings Dr, Buffalo Grove, Illinois, United States

We are celebrating our 7th year of serving Chicagoland. Last year alone we recycled over 9 mil lbs of e-waste. It means that 9 mil lbs of highly toxic waste did not end up in a landfill but rather was re-introduced back into manufacturing stream saving environment, energy and reducing polution and Greenhouse effect.Genesis Electronics Recycling is the source for collecting, dismantling and recycling of E-Waste as well as Certified Data Destruction. We are providing corporate, governmental, and manufacturer recycling programs covering local, state, regional and national levels for betterment of the environment.

We perform only environmentally friendly recycling using de-manufacturing and assets re-marketing processes. Computers, monitors, printed circuit board, telephone equipment, TV's, VCR's or any other electronic devices, that are unusable get disassembled into component parts and sent to certified facilities for metals and other materials recovery. Nothing from de-manufacturing process is going to a landfill.

Genesis Electronics Recycling de-manufactures electronic equipment by hand so as to not contaminate the environment by toxic materials. Electronic components that can be refurbished to extend their useful life are processed for resale.Other recycling companies shred obsolete electronics. We do not shred your electronic equipment, with the exception of Hard Drives, which are in wholly self contained system that does not contaminate the air. We believe shredding contaminates the e-waste raw materials and the air. It is common knowledge that shredding releases potentially hazardous particles into the environment. All of our processing facilities are located in the continental US.We completely recycle all types of electronic equipment. All material is tracked, disassembled by hand, carefully separated and eventually utilized as feedstock for various raw material extraction processes (including smelting and refining) or refurbished and sold. These raw materials are in turn used to produce new metal and plastic products.

Does your company's security policy require that no data containing devices leave the premises?Other companies offer on-site destruction by punching the hole in the drive or smashing it with a press. In these cases the data can still be recovered by a Forensic Data Specialist.Do you want to be in control of your Data Containing Devices all the way to their end of life? Genesis Electronics Recycling, Inc. can provide on-site hard drives and backup tapes destruction by shredding them while you supervise the process. Only shredding of media guarantees full destruction of data and therefore it is recommended as a preferable way of Data Destruction by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in their NIST 800-88 guidelines and it is compliant with HIPAA, DoD and FACTA requirements for destruction of media. We can even record the shredding so you can have it for your records.Each hard drive will be scanned to capture its model and serial number and then shredded to ensure that no data can be recovered. The entire process is done at your site and a certificate will be sent to you with all information within 24 hours. Our trucks are equipped with power generators and custom made hard drive shredders.

Our process consists of following easy steps:

• Each device is evaluated to determine the best recycling/recovery method.
• Anything that can be reused is removed.
• Equipment that appears to be marketable is thoroughly tested to assure it meets the required specifications.
• CRT's and various parts that contain hazardous materials are sent to appropriate licensed smelters for raw materials recovery.

E-Waste

All obsolete or outdated computers, televisions, cell phones, printers, PDAs, and thousands of other devices commonly used in offices, hospitals, and homes. The globlal technological revoultion is fueling the rapidly increasing E-Waste recycling problem. The demand to effectively and safely recycle obsolete electronics is pushed by the same demands our society imposes on manufactures for the new, smaller, faster more efficient electronics.

Plastic Recycling

Born out of necessity, Genesis Plastics Recycling was created to provide a sustainable home for the many plastics generated in the recycling of electronics by our sister company, Genesis Electronics Recycling. We're now happy to announce the expansion of our plastics recycling division as we seek to expand our materials sourcing in the Chicagoland area and neighboring states. At Genesis our goal is to create sustainable recycling and collection programs that do not impact your operational efficiency, while reducing costs and adding profitability through material rebates. We want to set up a recycling program that makes sense for your organization. Whether you're currently recycling or you want a staggered implementation across multiple departments, we want to be your environmental partner that you can rely on and trust.Genesis buys all forms of surplus or scrap plastic: purgings, runners, parts, films, aged inventory, polystyrene foams and virgin/regrind resins.

Recycling of Less Than Perfect Plastics
With our electronics recycling background, which is primarily hand disassembling at our Buffalo Grove facility, we're able to bring value to your 'less than perfect' materials as well as the more traditional waste streams that most recyclers handle, it's those tough materials that were focusing on to set us apart. We service the Chicagoland area with our own straight trucks, so pickups wouldn't need to be full loads. We also have logistics partners that can pickup full truckloads both near and far. We can even provide drop trailers when the volumes warrant.

Certified Destruction
Have obsolete finished product or intellectual property? We can certify destruction for any items we receive; most items are ground, shredded or even re-melted before being sent to our customers for reuse. We'll provide certificates of destruction, including the method of destruction and pounds recovered.
