Triathlon: DonationsINK Joins Forces With USA Triathlon

Colorado Springs, Colorado (June 6, 2006) - USA Triathlon has added DonationsINK to its stable of corporate partners and the Colorado-based recycling company will be designated as the Official E-waste and Printer Cartridge Service Provider to USAT.

DonationsINK is a national leader in the recovery and recycling of inkjet cartridges and cell phones, as well as the supplying of remanufactured inkjet and laser printer cartridges. The company specializes in providing substantial revenue streams to charities, schools, community groups and commercial organizations. Through its innovative collection programs, DonationsINK supplies quality assured printer cartridges to consumers throughout the United States.

“This is a great way to connect USAT with an organization that is serious about recycling and protecting our environment from waste,” said USAT Executive Director Skip Gilbert. “It’s also a unique way to create a revenue stream for USAT’s clubs across the country.”

USAT will work closely with DonationsINK to place and promote the usage of recycling kiosks at USAT’s owned events and by USAT clubs throughout the country, with USAT and its member clubs benefiting from shared commissions received from each recyclable item collected.

“We are proud to participate with USA Triathlon in this nationwide program,” said DonationsInk.com’s Chief Operating Officer Donald R. Corn. “With this exclusive breakthrough relationship, USAT becomes the USOC's largest unified recycling organization and effectively implements campaigns for both saving the environment and helping raise funds for USAT's membership."

DonationsINK is in the process of diversifying its company’s offerings by venturing into online communications. They are currently working with USAT to create member-personalized communication portals capable of working with both Internet and wireless devices, including the ability to receive and view streaming video and wireless messaging, as well as the purchasing of products, Pay-Per-View videos and services via online stores. Details on this component of the partnership will be announced in the coming months.
