SUMMARY:5.15.25 - Scott Vander Kooy - President\, Comprenew
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Scott Vander Kooy – President\, Comprenew \nSpeaker Topic: Protecting People and Planet \nBio: \nScott Vander Kooy started Comprenew in 1986 as an IBM mainframe refurbisher in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. As computers became more affordable and more electronics began entering the waste stream\, Comprenew expanded its services to include recycling to help reduce this environmental threat. Today\, Comprenew is one of the highest certified electronics service and recycling companies in the world. \nBecause electronics is the fastest growing part of our waste stream\, Scott would like to share about the importance of doing everything we can to ensure that electronics do not harm people and the environment. Through Comprenew’s recycling procedures and zero-landfill policy\, Scott works to ensure electronics are only a benefit to society. \nGrowing up in Illinois\, New York and Michigan\, Scott’s favorite subject in school was Science. In college\, he studied Business/Economics and Political Science at Calvin University. He is passionate about equity\, environmental protection\, business leadership and spending time with family at his lake cottage. Scott and his wife\, Jan\, have three grown children and two grandchildren.
