EPA’s Gold Tier Award is presented to organizations with
exemplary electronics collection and recycling programs. Over the
past eight years, VIZIO has diverted more than 167,000 tons of
electronic waste from landfills. VIZIO’s long standing electronic
waste recycling program is evidence of the importance VIZIO places
on environmental sustainability.
“Being part of the consumer electronics ecosystem, we know how
important recycling and sustainability is to our consumers and to
our industry,” said Jerry C. Huang, General Counsel for VIZIO. “We
are proud of the EPA's recognition of our electronic waste
recycling program and we'll continue to advance our business and
supply-chain to further expand our collective environmental
stewardship practices.”
“It’s going to take all of us working together to build a
sustainable future, and I applaud the organizations recognized
today for their leadership in essential electronic recycling
efforts,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Electronics are
a global economic driver with supply chains that reach around the
world and products that play a big role in our daily lives. Because
of these organizations’ efforts, we’re able to recover and recycle
valuable resources like precious metals, critical minerals,
plastics, and glass.”
