A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
Mills College has an active program on campus to collect e-waste that is no longer useful to Mills departments and students. Mills-owned equipment that is still in working order is donated to the Oakland Unified School District for K-12 students to use. For e-waste that is not in working order or student e-waste, Mills partners with an outside company to come pick it up and process it. The company Mills partners with is a cradle to cradle operation for electronic waste and has been recycling since 1980. They are BAN e-Steward certified as well as ISO 14001 certified. Because of these certifications and a transparent paper trail, Mills is able to be sure that the e-waste is recycled in the most environmentally sound and socially responsible way.
