Glezco Receives E-Stewards Certification

Glezco becomes the first electronics recycler in Latin America to receive certification from the Basel Action Network.

The Basel Action Network (BAN) Seattle, has announced that Glezco’s Nuevo Leon, Mexico, electronics recycling plant has been certified to the e-Stewards standard, developed by BAN. Glezco, headquartered in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, Mexico, is Mexico’s first certified e-Stewards recycler.

In addition to the Nuevo Leon plant, Glezco operates three other electronics recycling facilities in the Mexican cities of Guadalajara, Jalisco and Tijuana. The company also operates an electronics recycling facility in Laredo, Texas.
Glezco’s other operations are undergoing certification, as required under the e-Stewards standard.
“We are thrilled to welcome the first Mexican e-Stewards recycler,” says Jim Puckett, executive director of BAN. “The global expansion of the e-Stewards program is essential for servicing the needs of the world’s most responsible multi-national corporations.”
In addition to the E-Stewards certification, Glezco’s facilities are ISO 9001, 14001 and 18001 certified. (E-Stewards certification requires ISO 14001 certification.) The company’s plants also have achieved the Clean Industry Certification by SEMARNAT, a voluntary program designed to ensure compliance with Mexico’s federal environmental laws.
