5 | E-Scrap News wants your views

How have the revenue streams for e-scrap processors changed in the past year? What areas of the e-scrap recycling business are struggling and which ones are growing? How has the composition of the electronics recycling stream changed and how are processors handling new products and materials? These questions, and more, are being tackled in the fifth year of data collection for E-Scrap News' Survey of E-Scrap Processors.

We are still collecting data for this year's survey and if you are an e-scrap processor, we need to hear from you. Our findings won't be complete without your input. As an added incentive, all those who complete the survey will be entered to win either an Apple iPad, or one free registration to the E-Scrap Conference, October 5-6, where the findings will be presented.
