Encompass Launches Green Choice Parts Website
GlobeNewswire
2012-01-05

      GreenChoiceParts.com Offers Access to Thousands of Eco-
       Friendly, Cost-Effective Reclaimed Parts for Consumer
                       Electronics Products

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., Jan. 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Encompass Supply
Chain Solutions, Inc. (ESCS), a leading provider of forward and reverse
logistics for a diverse range of electronics products and replacement
parts, today announced its division Encompass Parts Distribution has
launched the website GreenChoiceParts.com to market cost-effective,
eco-conscious alternatives to OEM replacement parts.

Green Choice Parts are harvested from scrapped consumer electronics
products that have become beyond economical repair or have cosmetic
damage -- primarily flat screen televisions -- for use in
out-of-warranty or extended warranty repairs. Parts are sourced from
major retailers and rent-to-own companies that need an
environmentally-responsible way to dispose of unusable products.
Available components include printed circuit boards, speaker
assemblies, power supply and more from top brands such as LG, Sony,
Philips, Samsung, Toshiba and Panasonic, as well as a large selection
of name brand appliance and computer products. Other product categories
will be added in the future.

Green Choice Parts cost as much as 25% less than new parts, while
providing the same functionality and reliability. Encompass provides a
180-day warranty on Green Choice Parts to help reinforce confidence in
the quality of the parts.

"In addition to providing professional servicers with a less costly
option to new parts, Green Choice Parts extend the life of consumer
electronics by providing a channel for often hard-to-find components
and making products repairable that otherwise may not be cost
effective," said Robert Coolidge, President of ESCS and Encompass Parts
Distribution, which manages Green Choice Parts. "Manufacturers also
benefit from reduced buy outs, better parts availability for their
products in the market and improved warranty costs when seeking hard to
find parts."

Coolidge estimates that through Green Choice Parts, Encompass will
annually divert about 7,500 pounds of electronics components from
landfills.

"By recovering these parts from unsaleable goods, we are able to
augment the parts supply chain, while also preventing a significant
amount of e-waste from being discarded as trash."

GreenChoiceParts.com offers servicers convenient access to thousands of
reclaimed parts for flat panel TVs, with plans to expand its offering
of appliance, computing and imaging products. Component details and
photos are available, as well as online ordering and account
management. Current Encompass Parts Distribution account holders can
use their existing log in and password to obtain wholesale pricing and
manage their accounts. New customers can download credit and credit
card applications to open an Encompass account.
