We are so pleased to be able to offer this unique e-waste solution and have been privileged to work with some great retail partners this year to get the program running, said Tony Nader, president and CEO of NEW.

NEW works with vendors to handle recycling process, recover and distribute parts and raw materials.

The vendor partners have pledged for ecoNEW as part of the contract. The pledge is based on the Basel Action Network Treaty developed in Europe and recognized as the global standard for environmentally safe electronics recycling. The ecoNEW audit process includes verifying vendor documentation and ISO certifications, making sure partner companies have appropriate quality management systems and environmental management systems in place as required, and conducting physical inspections of partner equipment, facilities and processes.
