CloudBlue Technologies Inc., a provider of electronic scrap management services, has announced that it has received e-Stewards Certification for its six U.S. processing facilities. The company, headquartered in Alpharetta, Ga., also has facilities in Chandler, Ariz.; Indianapolis; Joliet, Ill.; Pine Brook, N.J.; and Sterling, Va.
By achieving the certification, CloudBlue says it has demonstrated that its electronic scrap management services meet and exceed the complete list of e-Stewards standards. The E-Stewards Standard requires:
- Prohibition of toxic waste disposal in landfills;
- Full compliance with international hazardous waste treaties;
- Social accountability ensuring fair labor practices, including the elimination of prison labor in the recycling of toxic and data-sensitive electronics;
- Extensive baseline protections for recycling workers;
- A certified ISO 14001 environmental management system that builds in occupational health and safety requirements specific to the electronics recycling industry;
- Strict management of downstream vendors to promote compliance throughout the recycling chain; and
- Reporting of all incoming and outgoing weights through mass balance accounting (MBA) policies to ensure accountability and visibility of all material received and processed.
Ken Beyer, CEO of CloudBlue, says, "We built CloudBlue on the core values of social responsibility and data security, providing businesses with a professional service that ensures electronics are consistently dealt with safely and securely. The e-Stewards Certification not only credits our environmental initiatives but better enables companies with the need for certified vendors to locate and utilize our range of services."
