From the Orange Coconut blog: Why videotape should be evaluated before reuse
Videotape Recycling
As you know, we are fervent supporters of reconditioned tapes here at Orange Coconut. After several successful years of offering this service ourselves, we are now handing over the baton to EMS (Environmental Media Solutions). EMS are a Tapes UK Company and have excellent environmental credentials and offer a reliable, quick and efficient service.
If you are in any doubt about the carbon benefits of using reconditioned tapes, have a look at the report EMS commissioned from the independent carbon specialists Sustain Analytics. You can find it on the EMS website
EMS have a zero waste to landfill policy, so you can be sure that any tapes that have reached their end of life are being recycled, for example through the recovery polymers.
Please contact Kim Cowley or Steve Everett for further details of their services. We highly recommend them.
