Sustainability 2020 is designed to help companies adopt the principles of the circular economy and to control e-waste - electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Since the launch of its Sustainability 2020 initiative, iQor has recycled more than 80 tons of metals, 7,500 tons of cardboard, 265 tons of plastic, 210 tons of foam and 970 tons of e-waste. iQor is unique in that it services both the customers and products of the world's leading technology brands. As the only company with an integrated service delivery model - connecting customer interactions, technical service, and analytics - iQor has 120 million service interactions a year and completes 20 million product repairs. This enables data gained from customer contacts to be shared across the customer-product ecosystem, facilitating repair and improving product design for fewer returns. iQor's integrated approach ultimately creates less waste and lower carbon emissions. "iQor is on a mission for sustainability in support of a circular economy. We are not only striving toward zero-waste within our own company but also support some of the world's most innovative technology brands to adopt sustainable practices," said Hartmut Liebel, CEO of iQor.
