eRecyclingCorps provides a service to collect used consumer electronics for recycling or reuse. Other companies run their electronics trade-in programs through eRecyclingCorps, but are not currently receiving detailed feedback on the total environ-mental savings of the program. Our goal is to report this information to eRecyclingCorps customers by collecting relevant data from the trade-ins and synthesizing it into interactive report pages. These pages can be tailored to a specific user based on their role within their company.
