Intervala employees pitched in to help the environment through its first electronics recycling drive! This spring, employees brought in old, unused electronic devices from home to be recycled responsibly.

Spearheaded by our IT Department, the drive collected several dozen printers, monitors, computers, and laptops to be re-sold or responsibly recycled by e360 Technologies, a Pittsburgh-based technology recycling company. Intervala has partnered with e360 several times to dispose of and recycle obsolete computer equipment. Intervala plans to explore additional green efforts to benefit the world we live in.  

Intervala employees kept dozens of old printers, monitors, computers, and laptops from ending up in landfills. The unused electronics will be responsibly recycled instead.

Intervala is partnering again with students from Allderdice High School in Pittsburgh to participate in Catalyst Connection’s Manufacturing Innovation Challenge. This program allows students to work with a local company to find a solution for a “real life,” process-related challenge. Intervala gave the Allderdice students two specific projects to work on for course credit. For this first visit, the students met with Intervala manufacturing engineers and production technicians to fully understand two challenges that Intervala faces within its production processes.

The first challenge presented was a cumbersome handheld tool that our production staff must use each day. The students were asked how they would go about improving this tool to make its use within our production team more efficient. The second challenge was to create a 3D printed component fixture presentation for a high-speed printed circuit board assembly machine.

The Allderdice students will return to Intervala in May to present their solutions to our manufacturing engineers and production technicians. Intervala is proud to be involved in this program that encourages future generations to develop innovative solutions to unique problems that arise in the workplace.
