A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
Chatham requires the e-waste be handled by a vendor that can provide proof that they are a Basel Action Network signatory, and are permitted & bonded through the PADEP permit 081 for electronic de-manufacturing.
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for institution-generated materials:
Chatham University recycles all institution-generated materials with two different organizations that refurbish the electronic materials and donate them to schools and other non-profit organizations.
Any non-reusable materials go to an electronics recycler that is a signatory of the Basel Action Network protocol, and is permitted & bonded through the PADEP permit 081 for electronic de-manufacturing. In addition, our vendor, ECS&R, is Pennsylvania’s 1st U.S. Environmental Protection Agency R2 Certified company for electronics recycling.
A brief description of the electronic waste recycling program for student-generated materials :
The program is the same for students, but we request that cellphones be donated to the Hope Line program that refurbishes the phones for a women's shelter.
