“Sustainability is at the core of Alcoa’s practices and product design, and we’re excited about the completion of this unique installation in the Badin community,” Alcoa Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer Kevin Anton said in a press release. “As one of the first installations of EcoClean in North America, the ERI facility in Badin represents an exciting step forward for sustainable building design, making this new electronics recycling facility even more eco-friendly.”
ERI, the nation's largest electronics recycler, opened a regional recycling center in Badin last year that will employ up to 200 people. The company has been operating in a temporary facility since July and will move into its new facility this summer.
“We look forward to bringing new ‘green-collar’ jobs to North Carolina as we expand our network of e-waste facilities, and are excited to further our partnership with Alcoa through the installation of this revolutionary technology at the new Badin site,” said John Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of ERI. “This environmentally advanced building will positively impact the environment, aligning with our mission to reduce waste and enhance sustainability.”
