  3. OEMs and Local Governments’ Acceptance of e-Stewards • Sony: Have now confirmed that they support both e-Stewards and R2 Certifications. But have signed the ETBC/BAN Manufacturer’s Commitment which is only consistent with the e-Stewards Standard. • Dell: Supports National Legislation, has agreed no export of non-functional hazardous e-waste which is consistent only with the e-Stewards Standard. • HP: Has agreed no export of non-functional hazardous e-waste. Consistent only with the e-Stewards Standard

  4. OEMs and Local Government’s Acceptance of e-Stewards Samsung: First OEM to become an e-Stewards Enterprise – always making best efforts to use e-Stewards Recyclers LG: Have a policy no export to developing countries, no prison labor and no use of landfills for hazardous e-waste. This is fully consistent with e-Stewards and not R2 Asus: Uses only an e-Stewards Vendor for all of its take-back programs Apple: Threw its support behind the national export legislation that is only consistent with e-Stewards

  5. OEMs and Local Government’s Acceptance of e-Stewards MRM (includes Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba, Mitzubishi, Vizio) has the following policy: “Vendors must demonstrate compliance with R2 Standards PLUS no use of prison labor or export of electronic waste to non-OECD countries….If a vendor has a Certification from another organization that has established standards that meet the MRM requirements, such as the Certification from the E-Stewards TM program, MRM will accept that Certification.”

  6. OEMs and Local Government’s Acceptance of e-Stewards Local Governments Getting on-Board Santa Clara County (Silicon Valley): All of the e-waste generated by County government (a $4 billion organization with 15,000 employees) and collected by the County from its 1.8 million residents is recycled by e-Stewards pledged/certified recyclers. Seattle, San Jose and many more to come!

  7. EPA Acceptance of e-Stewards • Agreed to Support Both R2 and e-Stewards: “There are existing recycling certification programs, such as R2 and eStewards that EPA believes advance environmentally safe practices and includes standards for use in third party certification of such efforts.” • Agreed to Link to e-Stewards Website • Would like to work with us on a “Get Certified” campaign.

  8. R2 is a Subset of e-Stewards • e-Stewards is R2 + no export to developing countries / International Export rules • e-Stewards is R2 + no prison labor • e-Stewards is R2 + no landfilling of toxics • e-Stewards is R2 + more prudent / targetted occupational health criteria • e-Stewards is R2 + support of more than 70 environmental organizations

  9. e-Stewards Marketing • It’s all about BRAND recognition: The e-Stewards brand drives business to YOU • Make SURE people can find you • Embrace social media and the web • Take advantage of the Enterprise program • USE the brand: Home page/all over your website/marketing materials/facility/business cards/company vehicles • Use “e-Stewards electronics recycler/recycling” for all on-line activity (not just ‘e-Stewards’) • Fly the flag!

  10. e-Stewards.org website#1 Tool for promoting your business

  11. Only YOU can ensure that customers can find you • Review your Google site ‘bubbles’ and make sure the pop-up information is correct • Review the information on the comprehensive listing to ensure that is correct • Coming soon – ‘Store locator/event finder’ for easier finding…

  12. Store Locator/Event Finder • Concept: To create a zip code search function so people can quickly find e-Stewards facilities, collection events and/or public drop off hours • e-Stewards will have pass-coded access to the database to enter their own facility and event information and update as required • Other suggestions?

  13. BRAND Your Collection Events • Give your client the e-Stewards logo for use on all promotional materials and strongly encourage use • Use the e-Stewards logo on all of your own promo materials • Offer the organizer the opportunity to become an e-Stewards Enterprise and gain even more publicity • Hang an e-Stewards banner at the event along with your company banner • Hand out e-Stewards buttons, stickers, etc.

  15.
