  • Philadelphia-based Westinghouse Lighting recently announced its partnership with Veolia Environmental Services (VES) North America to promote Veolia’s proprietary recycling kit, RecyclePak, through Westinghouse’s Web site. The lighting and electronics recycling program provides a convenient way for companies to recycle large or small quantities of used lamps and ballasts.

The new three-year contract contains substantially similar terms and conditions to the previous agreement with enhancements to reflect new products, operational processes, and pricing.
