Sony Becomes First Consumer Tech Company to Sign EPA’s America Recycles Pledge

Sony Electronics is the first consumer tech company to sign the EPA’s America Recycles Pledge, said the firm Wednesday. Seventy-four other companies, groups and municipalities have signed the pledge, including Target and Walmart. Those signing vow to work with EPA and the other signatories “to build on our existing efforts to address the challenges facing our nation's recycling system and to identify solutions that create a more resilient materials economy and protect the environment.” The goal of Sony’s global environmental plan, called the Road to Zero, is to achieve a “zero environmental footprint throughout the lifecycle of Sony’s products and business activities” by 2050, said the company.
