Atlanta, GA (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) April 22, 2005 -- Market Velocity, the only provider of a full
service solution to help companies trade-in, donate or recycle used IT equipment
joins more than 12,000 organizations in 174 countries today to celebrate Earth
Day, 2005. The theme of this year’s Earth Day celebration is "Protecting Our
Children and Our Future" and that fits hand in glove with Market Velocity’s
mission says Frank X. Dalton, Market Velocity chief executive officer.
"Electronic waste is the fastest growing element of the entire waste
stream and poses a significant threat to our environment unless individuals and
corporations are committed to disposing of used products wisely," says Dalton.
Market Velocity helps equipment manufacturers develop and implement
customer programs for trading in, donating or recycling used IT equipment. The
Market Velocity solution manages all business processes, returns, payments and
tax credits making it easier for equipment manufacturers to offer customers
appropriate options for equipment disposal.
"Any one of the three
options helps our environment today and protects it for our children," says
Dalton, but he also points out that by donating equipment, companies can help
disadvantaged families or children in other ways. "There is a need for millions
of used computers in schools and non-profit organizations that serve children,
families and other citizens. Companies can maximize their investments in IT
while helping others by donating used equipment."
