e-Stewards Certified Recyclers: FAQs

What is an e-Stewards certified recycler?
An e-Stewards certified recycler is an electronics recycling company audited against the e-Stewards standard from the Basel Action Network — considered the strictest global e-waste certification. It prohibits exporting hazardous e-waste to developing countries and the use of prison labor, and requires documented data destruction and downstream accountability.
How is e-Stewards different from R2?
Both require annual third-party audits and responsible recycling practices. e-Stewards is stricter on the international export of hazardous materials and bans prison labor, making it popular with organizations that have strong ESG commitments. R2 is more widely adopted with more certified facilities. Some recyclers hold both.
How do I verify an e-Stewards certification?
Confirm the recycler on the official e-Stewards registry at e-stewards.org. Certifications can lapse, so verify current status before signing a contract. Every facility listed on ITAD Finder is checked against that registry.
Do e-Stewards certified recyclers handle data destruction?
Yes. The e-Stewards standard requires documented, verifiable data sanitization, typically aligned with NIST 800-88. Most provide serialized certificates of destruction by drive serial number — important for HIPAA, GLBA, and other regulatory compliance.
