Groups to Launch E-waste Certification Program

Two environmental groups, the Basel Action Network and the Electronics TakeBack Coalition, will launch an electronic-waste accreditation and certification program that will prohibit shipping toxic e-waste overseas, the groups said Monday.

The certification program, which 32 electronics recyclers already signed on to, will launch in early 2010, officials with the Basel Action Network (BAN) said. The certification program will be an extension of the group’s current E-Stewards program, which lists environmentally responsible e-waste recyclers but doesn’t audit their practices.

What customers say:

"We had laboratory electronics that were collecting dust and getting in the way. PC Recycler picked up some old computers for us before, so we knew about their great service, but never thought that they would be willing to take such unique things. We were thrilled when a few days later we got back all that extra space in our lab thanks to their prompt pickup of the items."
