CEAR Wins Green Design Award – Sacramento BERC

September 24, 2025

Last week, CEAR had the distinct honor of earning the Green Design Award at this years Sustainable Business Awards and Resource Expo. The Program is hosted by the Business Environmental Resource Center (BERC), a division of the Sacramento County-Office of Economic Development.

For 25 years, sustainability has been at the heart of CEAR’s mission. Our IT Asset Disposition prioritizes extending the life of devices and recovering reusable components to reduce the environmental impact of all electronics. What cannot be reused is recycled and our facility is TRUE Silver Zero Waste Certified as part of our efforts of zero landfill recycling. Our machine processing is designed to recover clean raw material to support the circular economy and efficiently operate using less energy. CEAR also procures 100% of our energy from renewable sources through SMUD‘s Greenergy Program.

We would like to thank the Sacramento County Department of Airports, the Sacramento County Environmental Management Division and all of our partners for this honor. We look forward to building a greener future together!
