All Green Electronics Recycling Certifies to e-Stewards, R2 Standards

According to a news release, All Green Electronics Recycling opted for certification in response to a federal directive requiring all electronic scrap generated by federal agencies and by U.S. government contractors working with taxpayer-subsidized electronics to be directed to certified electronics recyclers.

Arman Sadeghi, CEO of All Green, says he was inspired to enter the e-waste business in 2008 after seeing the 60 Minutes episode where the Basel Action Network (BAN) exposed the horrors of U.S. exported electronic scrap poisoning people and the environment in developing countries.

“These third-party audits hold our e-waste recycling and data destruction practices to the highest standards and underscore our mission to process end of life electronics responsibly,” Sadeghi adds. “They also ensure that our health and safety policies go well beyond those required by law. When you consider the new U.S. federal directives and the increased pace in which technology advances, this is near perfect timing in earning these rigorous certifications."
