GREEN SPACE: Warren-based GEEP grows by refining e-waste closed-loop recycling

metromode, 4/15/2010

GEEP — that’s Global Electric and Electronics Processing — Michigan is located in a 23,000-square-foot facility in Warren and employs nine. But the company is actively looking for at least 80,000 square feet of space in the Metro Detroit area, which means there will be hiring as well.

Doug Verkeyn, sales account manager for the company, attributes GEEP’s growth to the company’s closed-loop system, which means clients get a complete range of secure, environmentally sound recycling and asset management services — from analysis to software data-wiping to refurbishment to shredding and recycling.

The company has seven locations in the United States and Canada, with the Michigan location serving the Midwest region. Currently, GEEP Michigan can offer all of the company’s services in-house but one: shredding and recycling. GEEP’s Barrie, Ontario facility handles that.

For now.

Once a larger facility is secured, this final piece of the loop can be offered, along with GEEP’s other services, in one Southeast Michigan location.

In the meantime, the company is making do by ensuring that client needs are still taken care of at a GEEP facility, which ensures adherence to a high standard of quality. Verkeyn says that the toxins and solid waste tonnage that GEEP’s process keeps out landfills is important to the company. “Marching towards a safer and cleaner environment for our future generations, that’s the main goal.”
