July 16th’s Environmental Leader "Silicon Alley’ Private Cloud Provider Becomes e-Stewards Enterprise" cast a spotlight on e-Stewards Enterprises, mentioning ServerMonkey among the ranks of companies like Bank of America, Boeing, and Samsung. A leading corporate news source on energy, environmental topics, and sustainability, Environmental Leader details the significance of the e-Stewards Enterprise distinction in this article, and discusses the difference these e-Stewards companies make on the global environmental scale. E-Stewards Enterprises are groups that, whenever possible, work with annually-audited and certified e-Stewards recyclers when disposing of e-waste, which ensures that e-waste is responsibly managed and not dumped in developing counties to contaminate the environment "with environmentally hazardous materials such as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, beryllium and brominated flame retardants." With "as much as 80% of American electronic waste…routinely dumped in developing countries or local landfills," each step taken by a certified e-Stewards recycler or an e-Stewards Enterprise is a necessary one in a key direction.
ServerMonkey, which earned its e-Stewards Enterprise designation in late 2011, has worked ever since to lead the way in working with responsible e-cycling partners. For more detail on how e-Stewards Enterprises and recyclers are making a difference, checking out the Environmental Leader article here.
