CompuCycle Achieves e-Stewards Certification
The Gold Standard for Globally Responsible Electronics Recycling
Houston, TX. April 5, 2023. CompuCycle Inc. is the first woman-owned electronics processing company in Houston, Texas, and one of a growing regional footprint of e-Stewards® Certified electronics recyclers in the Lone Star State. e-Stewards Certified Recyclers uniquely ensure that hazardous scrap materials are never exported to developing countries and all personal or business data left on electronic media is sanitized.

“The CompuCycle team strives to exceed expectations when it comes to responsible e-cycling processes,” says Kelly Hess, CEO of CompuCycle, Inc. “Our transition to e-Stewards better complements our values of worker health and sustainability as we process all e-scrap and plastics domestically, and we are NAID AAA Certified to erase all of our customers’ data.”

Boasting over 25 years of e-cycling experience, CompuCycle has innovated their processes to become a one-stop shop for their clients by collecting, refurbishing and processing all assets without additional downstream processors. CompuCycle's values align seamlessly with the e-Stewards Standard and Certification launched in 2009 by Basel Action Network, an environmental nonprofit group dedicated to championing global health by ending toxic proliferation and trade. The e-Stewards Standard, in turn, aligns with international laws that prevent the dumping of toxic wastes and problematic plastic wastes, while remaining responsive and flexible to the newest innovations in the industry.

In addition to being a certified Women’s Business Enterprise, CompuCycle stands out as a full-service processor, with the ability to sort and process all materials in-house. Most notably, their new plastics plant uses a sink-float system to wash and separate the different plastic polymers found in electronic scrap by density.

“CompuCycle enhances the e-Stewards community with their unique perspective, innovative processes, and business expertise,” says Selena Turnock, Acting e-Stewards Certification Director. “We welcome them in our program and to its mission of promoting best practices of responsible electronics reuse and recycling worldwide.”
