Sage Sustainable Electronics Reuse Center Opens in Philadelphia

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Sage Sustainable Electronics today announced that it will open its fourth national repurposing center near Philadelphia in Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania. Sage CEO Robert Houghton said the company’s objective is to help businesses retire old technology more sustainably, and with better value recovery.

“Two-thirds of electronics recycled for raw materials are still perfectly functional,” he said. “When Sage extends the useful life of technology, we reduce environmental impact twenty-fold, and also return more money to our customers. Our Mission is to reuse more and recycle less,” Houghton stated.

“Electronics is the fastest growing waste stream worldwide,” said Ron Gonen, Founder & CEO of Closed Loop Partners, a circular economy-focused firm and Sage’s majority shareholder. “Our investments in the circular economy support companies like Sage which reduce waste and maximize positive environmental impact by keeping valuable materials in circulation and diverting them from landfills. Reuse plays a critical role in achieving these goals.”

Executive Vice President Mina Izadi noted that for many businesses, data security eclipses financial and sustainability concerns. “It’s no longer necessary to choose between data protection and optimal financial and environmental results,” said Izadi. “Sage quality of service, secure logistics and data destruction processes are demonstrably reliable and sustainable.”

Sage will accept all types of corporate technology in Montgomeryville from its corporate clients, including endpoint devices, data center hardware, and mobile phones. Its reverse logistics services ensure that the removal of old technology from corporate locations is easy, timely, and secure. Sage supports the recovery of used tech from employees working at home through its parcel program in partnership with UPS Store locations nationwide.

In keeping with its motto “Long Live Tech,” Sage performs repair and refurbishment services to prepare items for resale, redeployment, donation, and lease return. And while the company seeks to minimize recycling, as a certified e-Steward, Sage manages electronics recycling to the highest ethical standards.

Sage is a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher, updating PCs with genuine Windows operating systems before offering them for sale. “When you buy a Sage refurbished PC, you pay a refurbished price, but we deliver a new-device experience,” said Izadi. “Refurbished computers are a reliable solution for families on a budget.” Refurbished PCs and mobile phones are available for sale to the public at shop.sageSE.com.

The Montgomeryville location will serve enterprise customer locations in New England, the New York tri-state area, and along the eastern seaboard to Virginia and Washington DC.
