The electronics recycling firm Extreme Recycling Inc., based in Placentia, Calif., has achieved the e-Stewards Certified Recycler designation.
According to the Seattle-based Basel Action Network, which is in charge of the e-Stewards program, the certification is awarded only to companies that meet the most stringent health and safety, data security, environmental and socially responsible standards in the electronics recycling industry and is the most comprehensive certification available.
Extreme Recycling says its Topeka, Kan., facility is the first and only e-Stewards-certified electronics processor in the state. The Kansas plant completely disassembles all materials collected from the company’s California and Kansas sites.
“We are especially proud to bring such a high standard of electronics processing to the state of Kansas and Orange County, Calif.,” says Dino DeMarco, president of Extreme Recycling Inc.
“Extreme Recycling has always been concerned with locating responsible final dispositions for all materials handled at either facility. The e-Stewards certification program has allowed us to officially distinguish ourselves as a trustworthy and dependable e-waste recycling option for our customers and members of the general public.”
