CRE Expands its NAID Certification

Commodity Resource and Environmental Inc. (CRE)  a Burbank, Calif.-based silver refining company, has recently been endorsed by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) for micro-media destruction. This is in addition to the paper/printed media and computer hard drive destruction endorsements that the company was approved for in June 2011. CRE’s plant-based operation is in Mojave, Calif., with transfer processing facilities in Burbank and Phoenix.
 

CRE was founded in 1980 as a full-service silver recovery/silver refining company. The company’s primary customers include records management and records destruction companies, though CRE also has contracted arrangement s with many hospitals and medical groups performing radiology services. The company offers refining services to extract silver from scrap X-ray films.
 

CRE says it refines more than 24 million pounds of scrap X-rays and associated radiology documents for silver recovery and destruction annually. The company’s silver refinery occupies 5 acres in Mojave.
