Hilliard, Ohio (PRWEB) February 01, 2012

The Basel Action Network (http://www.BAN.org), a global toxic trade watchdog organization, announced today that Columbus based mobile phone recycling company e-Cycle LLC is the first mobile phone buyback and recycling company certified as an e-Stewards? recycler, adhering to the highest global standards for socially and environmentally responsible electronics recycling.

Created by the Basel Action Network (BAN), the e-Stewards? certification program is the only electronics recycler certification program that prohibits the export of hazardous waste to developing countries, requires a certified ISO 14001 environmental management system, includes industry-specific worker health and safety requirements, bans the use of prison labor in handling of sensitive data, and can be used internationally. The certification was written by the environmental community and leaders in the industry to protect human health and the global environment.

?In the absence of leadership or laws requiring responsible electronics recycling here in the United States, we felt it was necessary to create a program to help people find a responsible recycler,? said Jim Puckett, BAN?s Executive Director. ?e-Cycle has undergone a rigorous independent audit process to ensure they are upholding the highest standards for wireless recycling and worker safety. Businesses and organizations throughout the world can be confident that e-Cycle will recycle and reuse their used mobile devices responsibly.?

An award-winning 60 Minutes expose entitled ?The Electronic Wasteland?, that aired in late 2008 and again in June of 2011, left viewers , business leaders, and government officials wondering if their best intentions to recycle hazardous electronic products had gone awry. The piece featured a seemingly responsible recycling company collecting e-waste from Denver residents and surreptitiously shipping it to poor countries where it was being dumped and burned. BAN was an integral part of the investigation.

?e-Cycle was founded on three guiding principals?a love for the environment, technology and charitable giving,? said e-Cycle Founder and CEO Christopher Irion. ?Achieving our e-Stewards and R2 Certifications not only improves e-Cycle?s processes and differentiates us from other mobile recycling companies, it reinforces the essence of e-Cycle?s core brand image among the most ethical and trustworthy wireless recycling companies in the world. Through the guidance of the e-Stewards Standard, we will continually improve our business model and processes.?

About e-Cycle LLC

Ranked the #68 Most Promising Company in America by Forbes and the #5 fastest growing environmental services company in the U.S. by Inc., e-Cycle helps organizations take a more responsible, secure and profitable approach to wireless recycling. e-Cycle purchases used mobile phones and pads that still retain value and recycles all others at no charge through an EPA-registered facility. The data on every reusable phone undergoes a rigorous, multi-step data deletion and auditing process to permanently remove confidential information. e-Cycle is e-Stewards Certified, which includes ISO 14001, and R2 certified.

About e-Stewards? Certification

The e-Stewards Certification program, created by the Basel Action Network (BAN), formally recognizes electronics recyclers that adhere to environmentally and socially responsible practices when recovering hazardous electronic materials. It is the first such program backed by environmental organizations and major corporations alike. The accredited third-party audited certification program is supported by the USEPA and is endorsed by Greenpeace USA, the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the Electronics TakeBack Coalition and 68 other environmental organizations. It has also drawn the public support of major corporate ?e-Stewards Enterprises? including Alcoa, LG Electronics, Bank of America, Capital One Financial Corp. and Wells Fargo.

Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

Trumpia, the leading web-based service provider for Multi-Channel Marketing and Messaging, today announced that the latest version of its All-In-One Marketing platform is now available.

Unlike single channel solutions, Trumpia?s All-In-One service integrates Mobile Text, Email, IM, Voice Broadcast, Facebook and Twitter ? allowing marketers to reach 100 percent of their audience — for an All-In-One price.

The new version of the Trumpia platform features the following enhancements:

????Multiple Facebook Fan Page Postings. Register and manage all your Facebook fan pages from your Trumpia account. The Trumpia dashboard lets you conveniently access and post messages to each fan page from one source. By being able to post more content, marketers can increase their ?Likes? and boost the number of fans who see their deals and take advantage of their offers.
????Improved Text-to-Screen Filtering. Trumpia?s text-to-screen feature is a great way to immerse customers into live interaction for improving engagement and gaining text message marketing opt-ins. People love texting in their comments at an event, club or restaurant and seeing their words right on the flat screen. Now, in addition to blocking the display of certain undesirable words, businesses can also choose to approve or deny messages in real-time.
????Filter to Segment Your Database. Custom data fields have always let Trumpia users capture personal information for learning about their audience. Now marketers can put that data into action by filtering contacts before they send out their messages. They can filter contacts according to age, country, city, state, additional demographic data or any other information that they collect. Once contacts are filtered, users can send a message to this segmented target audience for high impact results.

?We are excited to help marketers go even further in keeping pace with today?s digital lifestyle so they can reach all of their potential customers,? said Ken Rhie, co-founder and CEO of Trumpia. ?This latest Trumpia release helps them do just that by improving how they target their messages, engage their audience and grow their Facebook fans. We?re looking forward to continuing to address the needs of organizations with solutions like this one, helping them drive greater response rates and sales performance.?
