New ReMA Member Spotlight: eCyclers of Idaho

Based in Idaho Falls, Idaho, the eCyclers of Idaho's mission is to safely process all end-of-life electronics in an environmentally acceptable manner and in full compliance with responsible electronic recycling requirements.

ReMA News spoke with Daniel Forbush, founder of eCyclers of Idaho, about the company, where he sees the recycled materials industry moving forward in the next few years, and what he's looking forward to as a new ReMA member.

Tell me about yourself and your company.

I'm Daniel Forbush, founder of eCyclers of Idaho. We recycle any and all electronics - from old laptops and smartphones to large commercial equipment. Our mission is simple: keep e-waste out of landfills and make responsible recycling easy and accessible for individuals and businesses across Idaho.

How did you hear about ReMA and how did you decide to join?

I was referred by the one and only Adam Shine over at Sunnking! Adam spoke highly of the association and the community it brings together, and that was more than enough for me. When someone like Adam points you in a direction, you follow!

What excites you most about being a ReMA member?

Honestly, the community. Being connected to other recyclers, industry leaders, and advocates who are all working toward the same goal is incredibly motivating. I'm also excited to learn from members who've been in this space longer than I have and to contribute where I can.

What are your short and long-term goals for the company?

In the short term, I'm focused on growing our local presence in Idaho and building strong partnerships with businesses looking for reliable e-waste solutions. Long term, I'd love to expand our reach regionally and become a go-to name in electronics recycling throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Where do you see the recycled materials industry heading in the coming years?

I think we're at a really exciting inflection point. With more consumers and corporations prioritizing sustainability, demand for responsible e-waste recycling is only going to grow. I also see technology playing a bigger role in how we sort, process, and track materials - which is great for efficiency and transparency across the board.
