OSRAM SYLVANIA And Veolia Environmental Services Expand Recycling Partnership to Canada

Craig DiLouie November 24, 2011

Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLLC, the hazardous waste division of Veolia Environmental Services North America Corp. (VESNA), and OSRAM SYLVANIA recently announced the expansion of their joint online program to offer RecyclePak recycling kits into Canada.

This collaboration began in 2006 when OSRAM SYLVANIA sought a lamp recycling solution for customers’ small quantities of mercury-containing lamps and ballasts. Veolia Environmental Services’ RecyclePak lamp and ballast recycling kits provided that solution, and the two companies launched an industry-first web program, at Greenbuild that year in Denver. Working together, they also designed and introduced the first recycling kit for small quantities of CFLs generated by consumers.

RecyclePak is Veolia Environmental Services’ complete pre-paid lamp and ballast recycling solution. One price includes everything needed to recycle including shipping to and from a facility, packaging and recycling and written compliance documentation. Veolia Environmental Services’ RecyclePak program not only provides a convenient recycling option, it also ensures complete compliance with state, provincial and local disposal regulations while reducing the risks associated with improper storage.
