2 | E-Scrap Conference: A concise look at industry consolidation

Like all emerging industries, today's leader in electronics recycling may soon lose its high ranking due to the attractiveness of growth through mergers and acquisitions (M&A). The e-scrap industry has seen a rising number of M&A actions in the past three years. What does this mean for the industry overall and for each player in this sector? What are the larger trends in green technology investing that may affect M&A efforts in electronics recycling? These and other key M&A issues will be analyzed at the conference by Dan Coyne, a managing director at Canaccord Genuity, where he has helped structure a number of M&A deals for clients.

The E-Scrap Conference will be held at the Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate in Orlando, Florida, September 11-12. Early-bird registration is available at www.e-scrapconference.com or by clicking the banner below.
