Application & Optional Pre-Assessment

This step helps identify potential gaps early, improving the likelihood of a successful certification.

e-Stewards

Scrap Computers e-Stewards Certification is a leading global program designed to ensure proper handling and disposal of old electronic equipment. The e-Stewards logo allows individuals and organizations the ability to identify recyclers that adhere to the highest standard of environmental responsibility and worker protection. e-Stewards Certification is open to electronics recyclers, refurbishers and processors. The intent of the standard is to provide a rigorous set of criteria to prevent irresponsible or illegal handling of hazardous waste and/or e-waste streams, while promoting data security, social responsibility, and environmental protection.

A few of the key components of e-Stewards include:

Prohibition of disposal of toxic wastes from electronic equipment in solid waste landfills and incinerators
Requirements for compliance with international hazardous waste treaties for exports and imports of electronics, and specifically prohibits the export of hazardous waste from developed to developing countries
Prohibition the use of prison labor in the recycling of toxic wastes from electronics, which often have sensitive data embedded
Requirements for baseline protections for, and monitoring of, recycling workers in every country, including developed nations where toxic exposures are routinely taking place
International applicability

The standard was developed by leaders in the e-waste industry with the intent that the standard could be implemented by all types and sizes of companies. The standard requires a separate ISO 14001 certification, but also incorporates significant components of Occupational, Health and Safety, data sanitization, social accountability and other BAN requirements. Regardless of a company’s size and the type of e-waste processing conducted on-site, the e-Stewards certification program provides a high level of confidence that a recycler consistently conforms to the e-Stewards Standard.

Certification to e-Stewards will provide your company with many benefits, such as:

Positioning yourself for federal contracts since the federal government now requires all federal facilities to recycle their e-waste with a certified e-Stewards or R2 recycler.
Demonstrating to customers that your company is in compliance with domestic and international laws.
Instilling public confidence through certified third-party review.
Helping protect against environmental and human health impacts from improper recycling.
Promoting safe and effective recovery and reuse of equipment to those who need them.
Helping reduce mining and processing of virgin materials, which will reduce environmental impact by conserving our limited natural resources.

We wrapped up our audit yesterday with our auditor. Nothing but good things to say. He is very thorough, and my management team is very pleased with the performance and professionality of PJR!

Barrett Jenkins

I’ve managed manufacturing facilities in a lot of places all over the world, each of which have had to have some form of 3rd party business systems validation/registration. I’ve been beyond impressed with the Perry Johnson process. You all have been very easy to work with, and the quality of your audits are top notch. It’s important that our company is able to identify nonconformances in our systems if they exist, and I felt like our auditor did a very thorough, effective job in that effort. Again, many thanks for your assistance with this achievement and I look forward to continuing to work with PJR into the future!

To our Project Manager and office staff, thanks for making the process happen so quickly and taking the lead on a challenging situation. To our Auditor, great job overall. You’re great to work with and we look forward to having you back in Arkansas next year. Let me know if you need anything further, otherwise we will look forward to the final report and our new PJR supplied certificate.

Anthony Lawenko

We switched from a particular registrar to Perry Johnson Registrars when I was an employee at George B. Woodcock & Co. and now that our company has been acquired by Custom Packaging Supply Inc., we chose to continue with PJR as our registrar because the service they provide is outstanding. So many people that I have corresponded with or worked with and each of them represents PJR to the highest standards. Everyone is cordial and professional. We look forward in continuing to do business with PJR.
