Call2Recycle recognized as e-Steward by group

Aug. 11 -- Call2Recycle, a rechargeable battery recycling program, says it is being recognized as an "e-Steward" by the Basel Action Network.

BAN is a group fighting against global dumping of electronic waste, and the recognition means that no toxic electronic waste is being sent to landfills, incinerators, prison labor programs or other countries.

"We believe that Call2Recycle meets and exceeds the highest environmental standards in North America, but in an era of ´greenwashing´ and misleading claims, we also believe in the necessity of third-party certification of our performance," said Carl Smith, Chief Executive Officer, Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corp.

The RBRC administers the Call2Recycle program.
