VISTA, Calif./EWORLDWIRE/Feb. 13, 2008 --- E-World Recyclers has been nominated to take part in a prestigious event which honors those who play a starring role in Carlsbad's thriving business community.More than 650 people, including prominent and high-profile business leaders, elected officials and community members, will be in attendance on Feb. 22 at the Four Seasons Resort Aviara, Carlsbad, for the ceremony.
"E-World Recyclers was selected as a finalist because of the integral part they play in helping the community achieve a green environment," said Toni Padron, chief operating officer and executive vice president of the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce. "The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce congratulates all of the companies and individuals who have been selected as finalists for this year's awards."
E-World Recyclers LLC in North San Diego County is leading the way in dismantling old computers, televisions and other discarded electronic products; the company separates cathode ray tubes (CRTs) through a process not used by any other recycler in the United States.
"Helping our communities with their electronic environmental challenges has always been a top priority for us," says Daniel Tweddell, chief technical officer at E-World Recyclers. "It has been a pleasure to work with the residents and businesses in the area, and we are truly honored to be considered for this award."
Each year an estimated 100 million computers, monitors and television sets become obsolete in the United States, making e-waste the fastest-growing portion of the nation's garbage, leaving toxic substances such as lead, cadmium and mercury to contaminate the underground water system.
"The dinner is a celebration saluting the best of the best in business," said Ted Owen, president and CEO of the chamber. "It's a time when everything but success can be forgotten about - it's all about what we've accomplished, and 2007 was a great year, so come and watch dozens of companies that have set a standard for all of us to emulate and learn from."
