Ohio EPA Joins State Electronics Challenge

Ohio EPA has become a partner organization in the State Electronics Challenge (SEC), a program developed by the Northeast Recycling Council Inc. (NERC) to encourage states to develop environmental goals and standards to meet when purchasing, operating, maintaining and disposing of electronics equipment. The SEC is made possible by a grant from U.S. EPA and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and is sponsored by several electronics companies.

Ohio EPA is the second government organization in Ohio to join the voluntary program, following MetroParks of Franklin County. “I challenge every eligible entity in Ohio to follow our lead. Together, we can make a difference,” said Ohio EPA Director Scott J. Nally.
