ZLOOP to Honor Winner of “Pocono Raceway’s Earth Day eWaste Recycling Challenge” with Primary Sponsorship on ARCA Car

Long Pond, PA (June 6, 2013) — Earlier this spring on April 20th, Pocono Raceway, a leader in the sports industry for their ongoing Pocono Green initiatives, and ZLOOP Computer and Electronics Recycling Centers transformed part of the infield space at the “Tricky Triangle” into one of Pennsylvania’s largest e-Waste recycling events of the year in celebration of Earth Day 2013.

In association with Venturini Motorsports, approximately 100,000 lbs. of e-Waste was collected during the day long recycling event and sent back to ZLOOP’s headquarters in Hickory, NC for processing, and not in local landfills.

An impressive turnout consisting of local residents, municipalities, school districts and companies converged on Pocono Raceway on Earth Day weekend to drop off their unwanted and unused electronics safely and securely…and at no cost. The group, organization, community or business that recycled the most e-Waste, was awarded free advertising on the ZLOOP stock car, driven by Justin Boston, which will be competing in this weekend’s Pocono 200 ARCA race.

The winner of this year’s contest, the Pocono River Otters Swim Club/Freedom Through Water Foundation team, collected and deposited an impressive 3,800 lbs. of eWaste. For their recycling efforts the Pocono River Otters Swim Club/Freedom Through Water Foundation will be featured as the primary sponsor on the No.25 ARCA car driven by Justin Boston.

“The need for a safe, secure and easy way to dispose of used or unwanted electronics was realized at Pocono, with the collection of more than 100 thousand pounds! We’re appreciative of everyone’s efforts and proud to honor the Pocono River Otters Swim Club as primary sponsors on our race car this weekend at Pocono,” stated Bob LaBarge, CMO ZLOOP.

Pocono Raceway is considered one of the most environmentally conscious tracks in NASCAR and the entire sports world. “Our Earth Day event is just another example of the ongoing greening movement that Pocono Raceway has made to identify ways to reduce our carbon footprint, enhance our environmental performance, raise awareness about environmental issues and harness potential for large-scale behavior change,” stated Brandon Igdalsky, Raceway President and CEO.

Saturday’s Pocono ARCA 200, the 56th ARCA race on the Pocono triangle since 1983, is live on SPEED at 1:00 p.m.
