What is the e-Stewards Standard for Electronic Recycling and Refurbishment?
A: The e-Stewards Standard is a comprehensive certification program for environmentally
responsible and ethical electronics recycling, refurbishment, and asset management. Developed
by the Basel Action Network (BAN), the standard aims to provide a rigorous framework for
organizations to ensure their processes protect human health and the environment while
promoting data security and social accountability.
