Waukegan, IL. July 20, 2023 ARCOA announces they have achieved e-Stewards^® certification. Since 1989, ARCOA has been providing clients worldwide with streamlined solutions for the recovery, remarketing, and recycling of technology assets. Adding e-Stewards allows our clients’ to not only meet their sustainability standards, but also helps their businesses with overall Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) efforts. e-Stewards’ focus on reuse of working devices whenever feasible and to only perform materials recovery for end-of-life electronics when reuse is not an option.

“The changing needs and expectations of our clients were the primary reason we chose to move from R2 to e-Stewards and NAID certifications,” said George Hinkle, President of ARCOA. “Data security, environmental impacts, the social aspects of business policies and business governance are critical points when corporations choose to work with an ITAD vendor. Corporations need to be confident that the vendor they choose is able to meet their goals and can be trusted. e-Stewards Certification gives our clients the transparency, trust, and assurances they demand. We are proud to have achieved what truly is the gold standard of electronics recycling certifications.”

e-Stewards Certification requires the highest standard for ethical and responsible processing, including NAID AAA data destruction, safe and proper reuse of used electronic equipment, employee safety and assurance that hazardous materials and non-working equipment are not exported to developing countries. As an e-Stewards company, ARCOA serves its partners with world-class, complete IT asset management services while at its core operating to the highest socially and environmentally responsible practices.
