摘要

Described as a comprehensive "one-stop shop" for the industry at the 2013 E-Scrap Conference in September, the long-awaited e-Stewards standards update has been released. The Basel Action Network (BAN) announced e-Stewards Version 2.0 in a press release Nov. 4. According to the release, several major companies and organizations, including Alcoa, Greenpeace, Staples and Wells Fargo have already backed the exclusive use of the revised standard, which sets out to "provide rigorous yet practical operational criteria for globally responsible recycling and refurbishing of electronic equipment."
