Program awarded as a top Sustainability Service
of the Year
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at
the front line of business with solutions and partners that deliver
a performance edge, today announced the Zebra Circular Economy
Program was recognized with a Sustainability Service of the Year
award by the Business Intelligence Group. The 2021 Sustainability
Awards program honors people, teams and organizations that have
made sustainability an integral part of business practices or
overall mission.
The Zebra Circular Economy Program promotes sustainability and
reduces the environmental impact of standard product lifecycles in
the supply chains of both Zebra and its customers. It is comprised
of the Zebra Device Buy-Back Program, Zebra Certified Refurbished
Device Sales and Rental Programs, and Zebra Recycling Services.
These initiatives offer a more economical and environmentally
beneficial option for businesses challenged with seasonal surges or
the need to extend the lifecycle and expand their fleet of deployed
Zebra devices.
“As we continue to help our customers operate more responsibly,
we are honored to be recognized for our commitment to reducing
waste and extending product life through our Circular Economy
Program,” said Jenna Stanley, Senior Vice President, Services &
Customer Success, Zebra Technologies. “We will continue to invest
in innovation that’s a win-win for our customers and the
environment.”
More than 63,000 devices were repurposed or recycled through the
program in 2020, and more than 40,000 devices entered the program
in the first half of 2021 alone. Embracing a circular economy
strategy has helped Zebra and its customers reduce potentially
harmful e-waste by refurbishing products that can be used by
another owner; prolonging the lifecycles of products and other
materials destined for a landfill without proper intervention; and
proper recycling of products that are unusable.
“We are proud to reward and recognize Zebra Technologies for its
sustainability efforts,” said Maria Jimenez, Chief Nominations
Officer, Business Intelligence Group. “It was clear to our judges
that Zebra’s vision and strategy will continue to deliver results
toward a cleaner, more sustainable world.”
Zebra recognizes its environmental responsibilities and is
committed to being a compliant corporate citizen, responsible for
supporting the protection of the environment. Read more about
