HONG KONG, June 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Peak International Limited (NASDAQ:PEAK), a market leader in plastics design, engineering, production and supply chain solutions, today announced that its plastics recycling division, SemiCycle (TM), had recycled over 100 million plastic trays since its inception. The company also announced that SemiCycle would significantly increase its activity in assisting all semiconductor companies in their plastics recycling efforts. "SemiCycle was founded 15 years ago to help semiconductor companies recycle their plastic waste," said Dean Personne, Peak's president and chief executive officer. "Each of these companies has an eco-friendly policy for many aspects of their business and we are doing everything possible to support them and to preserve our environment. We are committed to helping them recycle their trays and reels regardless of the original manufacturer." To participate, a semiconductor company simply arranges for SemiCycle to collect its used trays. Once at SemiCycle's facilities, the trays are carefully inspected and those with no visible defects are cleaned and given an anti-static coating, if appropriate. These recycled trays are then packed and stored at the warehousing facilities as inventories pending sales to customers. Recycled trays that do not meet industry quality requirements, or for which there is insufficient demand, are recycled for other uses. "This is true win-win," Dean Personne further noted. "We work with our clients to preserve the environment from unnecessary waste and SemiCycle's semiconductor clients have an almost hands-free disposal process that supports their green initiatives." Founded in 1992, SemiCycle was established to ensure that re-useable valuable plastic packaging material did not get destroyed or end up in landfills. To date the company has collected and processed over 15,000 tons of plastic resin which did not get buried or incinerated and released into the environment.
