Electronic Recyclers, Inc. (ERI), the nation’s leading recycler of electronic waste, announced today that it has received an official letter of registration and certification from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), confirming that ERI had successfully completed its ISO Certification Audit last month at its Gardner, Massachusetts location and that the company’s East Coast hub is now officially an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Registered facility.

The International Organization for Standardization sets global standards for business, government and society. The ISO 14001 certification addresses environmental management. Receiving approval in this area indicates that ERI has successfully met or exceeded international standards in the areas of minimizing harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities, and has achieved evidence of continual improvement of its environmental performance.

The ISO 9001 certification addresses quality management and certifies that ERI has fulfilled global standards for customers quality requirements, as well as regulatory requirements.

“It is an honor and great importance to us at ERI that we be recognized as an ISO certified organization,” said John S. Shegerian, ERI’s Chairman and CEO. “We are a green organization to the core and have consistently strived since we started ERI to find new ways to reduce our emissions while providing the best possible service to our customers -- so being ISO certified in these two most important categories is particularly meaningful to us. It is also proof and assurance to our customers that we operate our facility in an environmentally sustainable manner. We will exhibit our letter of Certification at our Massachusetts facility with great pride.”
