"Glass-to-glass recycling is viewed by the Environmental Protection Agency as the best use of this material. It is certainly preferable over sending it to a lead smelter, which can be environmentally sound, but doesn't yield the benefits of overall glass-to-glass recycling. A main purpose of [the] CRT rule is to promote [this], which has been a major intent from the beginning, starting with our Common Sense Initiative work,"
Bob Tonetti
Senior Environmental Scientist, Environmental Protection Agency Office of Solid Waste
"Like others in the industry, our company is concerned with the proper management of electronic equipment and the destruction of sensitive information that can be found on hard drives. That's why we chose URT: Universal Recycling Technologies (formerly CRT Processing), one of only a handful of companies in the United States who handle complete glass-to-glass recycling. It's satisfying to know that the units we send to URT are de-manufactured and recycled 100 percent. We are very confident in their ability to manage all aspects of the recycling process and provide us with detailed reports certifying their work. We trust URT to recycle our customer's electronic equipment and remove all of the personal data with the care, diligence and expertise it takes to ensure their privacy."

"URT: Universal Recycling Technologies (formerly CRT Processing) is a wonderful example of a business in the private sector that acts responsibly toward the environment and provides jobs to the local economy. Their role in recycling E-Waste, while keeping it out of the landfill and putting it into the recycling stream, is an invaluable service to us all.

"We have been a partner with URT: Universal Recycling Technologies (formerly CRT Processing) for just over a year. Our first interaction with the company was in preparation for the roll out of the Oregon E-Cycles program, where we act as a collector and Universal Recycling Technologies as a processor. We spent time getting to know about each other's operations and needs, and tailored an agreement that would serve both interests. During the year, we made slight adjustments to help each other out, streamline the process, and assure that each company is operating efficiently.
Most important, we felt, from day one, was that URT was a company with a culture of integrity and honesty. This has proven to be true, and we continue to look for other business opportunities that will enhance our partnership."
Bill Goman
Executive Transportation Manager, Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette

This is the type of recycling partner that I need and value."
Richard Garrison
Vice President Operations, Conigliaro Industries, Inc.

You give BTR and its stakeholders assurance that our material is being managed to a level above and beyond current regulatory standards. The level of service and responsiveness on day-to-day business has been wonderful. Additionally, the timeliness of processing and reporting has also been a wonderful surprise.
