QTS (Quality Technology Services), a provider of data centre facilities and managed services, has announced the establishment of a new Sustainability and Recoveries Group, which focuses on energy efficiency, recycling, responsible resource management and strategic sourcing. The company has recycled more than 6 million pounds of industrial materials including copper, aluminium, steel, plastic and concrete in the past 18 months as development continues at its Atlanta, Jersey City, Richmond and Santa Clara data centres.

The Sustainability and Recoveries Group is led by QTS veteran Mark Westhoff, who has assumed the role of vice president, sustainability and recoveries. This year, QTS announced its commitment to another year of participation in the EDF Climate Corps, a summer fellowship program that places specially-trained MBA and MPA students in organizations to help drive energy efficiency.
