Case Study: RPC Global achieves sustainable recycling and community impact with PayPal

RPC Global - Customer Case Study

PayPal spotlighted RPC Global, a company Abe Gonzalez founded around Y2K to address the growing problem of e‑waste. Faced with mountains of discarded computer hardware that threatened landfills and contained hazardous materials — while many businesses and individuals still couldn’t afford technology — RPC Global aimed to turn a waste problem into a community resource.

RPC Global collects, refurbishes and resells used computers, using proceeds to cover recycling costs and day‑to‑day operations, creating a self‑sustaining circular model. The result: fewer electronics in landfills, reduced environmental risk, more affordable access to technology for local businesses and people in need, and an ongoing commitment to finding greener solutions.
