September 21, 2011 The two companies follow a host of companies in California and the region of Santa Clara in being awarded the position by the Basel Action Network. eLoop, a collector and recycler based in Pittsburgh, will use the e-Steward accreditation to expand into both the State College and nearby town Lancaster, to hopefully stem the flow of e-waste. Com 2, based in Carol Stream in Illinois, also operates as an e-waste recycler, and has recently added the ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001 and R2 standards necessary to attain e-Steward accreditation. Ned Eldridge, President & CEO of eLoop, said: “This is a major accomplishment for our organization. In the last few years, most of our customers have been educated about e-waste export and data security issues and they have been looking for an e-waste recycler they could trust. eLoop llc meets the highest standards for processing in the world.” Saheem Baloch, Vice President of Com2 Recycling Solutions,added: “The e-Stewards Certification really helps folks separate the good from the bad. We are thrilled to have achieved this designation and committed to meeting the highest bar for responsible recycling.” Jim Puckett, Executive Director of BAN, stated: “We’re proud to announce that eLoop has received e-Stewards Certification of their Pittsburgh area facility. eLoop is the first Certified e-Stewards Recycler in Pennsylvania and a welcome addition to our growing group of responsible recyclers. “Certified e-Stewards Recyclers have undergone a rigorous independent audit process to ensure they are not simply dumping this toxic waste on developing countries under the guise of ‘recycling’”. As a Certified e-Stewards Recycler, Com2 Recycling Solutions, LLC. ensures Illinois businesses and residents that their old electronics will be recycled responsibly.” ©[16/09/2011] Basel Action Network (BAN) Categories :
