Nashville-based The Electronics Reuse & Recycling Alliance (TERRA) has now reached 100 e-Stewards and R2 Certified electronics reuse and recycling facilities.
The association says it represents the largest network of certified recyclers in North America dedicated to eliminating hazardous e-scrap from contaminating the air, land and water. This is done through diverting used electronics to the care of responsible and transparent providers to maximize the sustainable reuse and recycling of natural resources.
“From the beginning, it’s been our mission to help tell the important story of the indispensable services the Certified e-scrap and ITAD (information technology asset disposition) industry provides to the marketplace,” says Steven Napoli, president and CEO of TERRA. “We are proud that our members find value in what we do, especially our early adopters, because we certainly appreciate all they do to return valuable products and raw materials into the circular economy.”
In addition to TERRA’s certified members, the association says dozens of industry-affiliated companies, consumer brands, municipalities, major league sports teams and nonprofits have joined the association.
“We take pride in being certified,” says Joe Terrien, president of ITADlogic, the 100th facility to join. “We support TERRA’s effort to promote the fact that certification matters and look forward to seeing where the alliance goes in the future.”
