Through the partnership, the two companies aim to protect the environment, conserve natural resources and support the communities in which they work.
Kyocera Communications Equipment Group, San Diego, has teamed up with Big Sky Recycling, Portland, Oregon, in a joint effort to expand the company’s existing cellphone recycling program, which was launched in 2015.
As stated in a press release, the two companies aim to protect the environment, conserve natural resources and support the communities in which they work.
Since beginning business in 1959, Kyocera says it has embraced the principle of “harmonious coexistence,” meaning the company does what’s right for the environment and their communities. To this day, Kyocera says it continues to “take a careful look at what they do, how they do it, and who they entrust to work with.” These values are what ultimately led Kyocera to partner with Big Sky Recycling.
Through the program, each cellphone that is donated will be erased, properly recycled and help support those in need. By harnessing the power of donated cell phones, Big Sky Recycling says it is dedicated to reducing e-waste and using profits to support environmental, humanitarian and military nonprofits.
