NEW
YORK, Sept. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- Worthington Industries (NYSE: WOR) is a multi-billion
dollar steel processing company with a history of living by the
Golden Rule, and its recent asset disposition partnership with
Radiowell – America's largest wholesaler of used two-way radios –
will support under-funded volunteer fire departments.
Radiowell's Sustainability Initiative Attracted
Worthington: Worthington Industries had a surplus of two-way
radio equipment that was no longer needed, so the company sought
the assistance of Radiowell for sustainable asset disposition.
Radiowell is the only land mobile company with sustainability tied
to its business results. With its strategic partnerships, Radiowell
plants one tree in America's forests for each radio it
receives.
And through its GRANT program, Radiowell distributes functional
secondhand equipment to public safety organizations in need of
support. The equipment is given to the recipients free of
charge.
Worthington's equipment will support the life-saving work of
volunteer fire fighters. Worthington's transformation manager
Jeffery Smith says, "Radiowell's
commitment to sustainability echoes our own desire to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions while working toward net-zero emissions by
2050. Knowing that some of our old equipment will be put to use in
the field and will support the vital work done by volunteer fire
fighters made the decision to partner with Radiowell a simple yet
satisfying one."
Discarded, yet mechanically-sound electronics often end up in
landfills simply because no one has made a commitment to finding an
appropriate partner with the right resources. According to
Radiowell spokesperson Andrew Park,
"Partnerships with corporate leaders like Worthington ensure that
used radio equipment is decommissioned properly, so that each and
every component is disposed of appropriately and sustainably."
About Radiowell: Radiowell partners with leading
organizations to extend the life of existing communications
equipment and to plant new trees for each radio it receives.
Certain equipment is donated and other equipment is either sold for
parts or recycled.
Radiowell encourages eligible public safety rescue agencies,
including EMS, fire, and police organizations to submit an
application for consideration of a future equipment donation. Visit
the GRANT Program page here for more details. Grants are not
guaranteed and are contingent upon current inventory and other
limitations.
Leading companies or government agencies that seek a better
purpose for their used two-way equipment should visit the Sell My
Used Two-Way Radios form on Radiowell's site.
