AER Worldwide Opens Electronic Scrap Recycling Plant in Malaysia

AER Worldwide announced the opening of AER Worldwide Sdn. Berhad in Penang, Malaysia. The electronics de-manufacture and sorting center will provide original equipment manufacturers with close-to-source material sorting and destruction services.

AER Worldwide's 40,000 square foot Penang facility employs about 20 full time and contract employees. The facility handles highly recyclable materials such as steel, base metals, paper and cardboard. AER provides certified destruction and online viewing capabilities so companies can track their waste. Other services include precious metals processing, serial number tracking, sorting/de-manufacturing and excess inventory management.

AER tracks, audits and reports the customer's downstream material flows. It ensures that lead, battery and copper bearing materials, such as printed circuit board assemblies, AC adapters and power supplies, are only shipped to pre-audited ISO 14001 compliant facilities, eliminating the risk of corporate liabilities that can occur through non-certified operations.
