Singapore-based Global Ewaste Solutions Pte. Ltd. has been granted the first e-Stewards certification in Southeast Asia and “is the first to offer global coverage with three e-Stewards Certified facilities outside of the United States,” according to the Seattle-based Basel Action Network (BAN), which administers the certification program.
“Global Ewaste Solutions’ customers are committed to responsible recycling and demand the highest environmental, health and safety and data security standards to ensure their products have a minimal negative global impact,” adds BAN.
“Creating an e-Stewards Certified company in Singapore provides multinational companies a new option for their Asia operations,” says Global Ewaste Solutions President Kuljit Parmar. “They can now easily adhere to the same exact responsible recycling practices as they do in North America or Europe, in Singapore and surrounding countries.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Global Ewaste Solutions into the e-Stewards community of globally responsible asset managers,” says BAN Executive Director Jim Puckett. "Southeast Asia now has an ethical destination for retired assets from the many enterprises operating in the region”
Global Ewaste Solutions, a division of Knowledge Computers, headquartered in Canada, says it helps its clients around the world ensure they maximize the life cycle value of their IT assets while being committed to provide their clients with the highest levels of data security and focusing on reuse over recycling to drive maximum sustainability.
