American Communications Helps Carriers Go Green
SANTA BARBARA, Calif.—March 17, 2008 —American Communications today announced the availability of asset recovery services, designed so carriers can dispose of their surplus equipment using environmentally-sound methods in compliance with U.S. environmental laws and regulations. American Communications’ asset recovery solution provides carriers with a risk-free, affordably-priced, environmentally-conscious equipment disposal solution.
“Equipment removal and proper disposal is an inherent part of a carriers business and unfortunately – when implemented improperly - has negative impacts on our environment and can lead to costly penalties,” said Phil Grace, chief executive officer of American Communications. “With the complex set of environmental rules established by our government and the increasing number of environmental laws being created, carriers run the risk of steep fines when equipment is not disposed of in accordance with environmental laws. Cost-effective and green, American Communications’ asset recovery services are a safe solution for equipment removal, disposal, and recycling.”
Disposing, Reselling Equipment – The Green Solutions
With 20 to 50 million metric tons of e-waste disposed of worldwide each year, the EPA and non-government organizations are diligently enacting environmentally-friendly e-waste disposal regulations. American Communications offers simple and effective ways to dispose of equipment while protecting the environment. Asset recovery programs provide for the removal of unused equipment, which can then be properly disposed if equipment is non-reusable. Marketable equipment is resold through American Communications’ worldwide connections, extending the life of the equipment in another network while adding cash back in to the carriers IT budget.
American Communications offers equipment de-installation – and installation of new or pre-owned equipment – by qualified network technicians within its asset recovery services.
Repair, Reuse – An Eco-friendly Alternative
American Communications also provides equipment repair services to extend the life of communications equipment that can be utilized in the carrier’s network, mitigating the waste associated with the disposal of network assets that have an extended service life.
American Communications offers equipment repair for wireless, wireline, and data networking infrastructures, with proven savings up to 50% compared to traditional repair programs.
Asset recovery and equipment repair services are available now.
