Through world -class processes, end -of -life electronics are recycled and circulated back into worldwide production and electronic wastes are eradicated -- a true victory for the environment.

CRS has recycled millions of pounds of electronics for federal agencies and military facilities. Maintaining lasting contracts with a variety of entities such as the State of Florida, State of Kentucky, State of North Carolina, Pinellas County (FL), Hall County (GA), and Davidson County (TN), just to name a few, clearly demonstrates the company's ability to manage large volumes of material while fulfilling countywide and statewide contractual requirements. No electronics recycled by CRS go to a landfill. It's our commitment & our company policy! The CRS "automated" system was designed and implemented in October 2006. Before that date, CRS worked diligently on developing a plan to encompass all electronics recycling solutions into one effort to become the BEST environmental solution for ECycling. In 2006, with the advent of the CRS automated system, capacity was drastically increased, reaching 150 million pounds per year. At that point, the mission came full circle and the most cost- effective, best environmental solution to e-scrap was born. CRS is the only company with both CRT Angel & Glass Devil technology to date. With this technology we have automated the process that separates the leaded and unleaded portions of CRT tubes with laser precision. Followed by the high -tech process of removing harmful glass coatings and producing an output of resalable glass cullets; thus turning environmentally harmful CRT tubes into resalable end market commodity to be used in the making of new consumer products. This technology is available in both of our processing facilities in Tampa, FL and North Carolina. The CRS automated systems produce readily marketable commodities, which is much more desirable than the less- refined outputs produced by other recycling systems. r' • Creative Recycling 8108 Krauss Boulevard • Tampa, Florida 33619 Phone: 813 -621 -2319 • Fax: 813 - 626 -1248 • 800- 797 -2061 • www .crse recycling :cam CREATIVE RECYCLING Executive Summary Customer service is at the forefront of everything we do. At CRS we listen to our customers. We focus on nurturing and maintaining long -term customer relationships, and we offer our customers valuable, high - quality services that perform as promised. We provide turn -key customer- oriented programs that keep our customers coming back time and time again. CRS will provide on -site training for our customers in an effort to facilitate the pickup process. i Compliance with safety standards and satisfying the needs of the customer are our main priorities. CRS trained specialists will work closely together with customer contacts regarding all aspects of the pickup process including administration /paperwork, scheduling, truck loading area, supplies and packaging them, storage, equipment, sorting process, packing process, loading process, timeframes, staff requirements, and any other types, training necessary for that individual facility. When needed, our experienced drivers will also collect, pack and load all customer electronics. In addition, trained CRS Collection Event Managers strive to offer assistance and guidance to conduct successful public collection events. We recycle electronics and make ourselves available to our customers by promptly opening new facilities, expanding our truck fleet and hiring qualified staff, as needed. Our experienced staff members are often invited to make presentations and conduct keynote speeches in order to convey our innovative electronics recycling process and project information. Some of the conferences where CRS delivered speeches and successfully built consensus among public and private interest groups include SWANA (Solid Waste Association of North America), Georgia Recycling Coalition, Tennessee Recycling Coalition and the Carolina Recycling Association, to name a few. CRS has developed programs to help companies and government agencies guarantee that the data is sanitized while their assets are recovered. The process begins with accepting full ownership of E -Scrap at the time of pickup. Sanitization begins with removing all asset tags and obliterating any property markings. We adhere to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines for media sanitization, providing our customers with the most advanced data security methods for their needs.
