UPS ' sustainability efforts are well known; including their hybrid delivery trucks. I have seen them on
the streets of Philadelphia.
UPS is also a leader in recycling. In addition to
paper they recycle batteries and e-waste; which is fast becoming a
problem due to the rapid rate of obsolescence of computers and cell
phones. e-waste contains significant toxins including lead.
" ... "e-waste" ... a
significant global problem. ... UPS recycled 27,753 pounds of batteries
in 2008. This included nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, lithium
iron, ... implemented its own e-waste recycling program ... has
recycled more than 24.5 million pounds of electronic equipment."
