trueCycle Receives ISO Certification

Pasadena-based electronics recycler trueCycle Inc. has received ISO 9001:2000 and 14001:2004 certifications, according to company founder and CEO Todd Hill.

ISO 9001:2000 certification means that the company has established and adheres to quality management standards in its business and customer relations, while ISO 14001:2004 certification means that the company has established environmental management systems. The company says that the combined standards “address important business and societal issues such as social responsibility, sustainability, conformity assessment, services standards and customer satisfaction.”

Hill says, “Electronics waste must be recognized as a special category, not simply because of the environmental impact of improper disposal, but also because e-waste posses greater opportunity for unauthorized access to personal or corporate information that may remain on hard drives and other electronics storage media, exposing corporations to risks associated with identity theft.”

Hill also recognizes trueCycle COO Larry Powers and the company’s staff for their dedication to the program implementation. “The adoption of rigorous ISO standards allows trueCycle to better protect the environment and our customers,” Hill adds.

TrueCycle operates facilities in Placerville and Victorville, Calif., that provide asset management services, electronic scrap materials reclamation, recycling, volume reduction processing, environmental certification and equipment tracking services.
