ViaTek Solutions Receives E-Stewards Certification

The certification program recognizes electronics recyclers that adhere to environmentally and socially responsible practices when processing obsolete electronics. To achieve certification, ViaTek’s Florida and Georgia facilities were subject to audits conducted by accredited certifying bodies to ensure compliance with the e-Stewards Standard adherence to an ISO 14001 environmental management system.

Mark Cardamone, vice president of ViaTek Solutions, says the company has always been committed to doing the right thing for its customers. “The e-Stewards Recycler designation really helps folks separate the good from the bad,” says Cardamone. “Our capabilities, including glass-to-glass recycling and shredding of data storage devices, along with our fleet of service vehicles, brings advanced recycling capability and convenience to conscientious generators of e-waste throughout the U.S.”

Jim Puckett, BAN executive director, says, “The addition of ViaTek’s facilities to our growing network of certified e-Stewards Recyclers helps provide greater access to responsible e-recycling. Generators have a choice when choosing certified electronics recyclers, and only e-Stewards recyclers can ensure that hazardous electronic waste is not exported to developing countries and is recycled in accordance with the most secure practices in the world.”
