ERI Washington plant receives NAID AAA certification
<![CDATA[The electronics recycling company ERI, headquartered in Fresno, California, has received AAA certification from the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID), Phoenix, for its electronics recycling facility in Summer, Washington.

The Washington facility joins ERI’s facilities in California, Colorado, Indiana, Massachusetts and Texas that have earned the AAA certification. ERI says its goal is to have all of its locations NAID certified in 2017.

NAID is an international professional organization that sets the industry standards for responsible data destruction. Its certification program was created through the combined efforts of the industry’s leading information security professionals. Its standards and practices are recognized globally.

“We’re proud to have achieved AAA certification from NAID in the great state of Washington,” says John S. Shegerian, ERI chairman and CEO. “Not only has ERI met the strictest standards of environmental and operational excellence, we have now also reconfirmed our ongoing commitment to data destruction, as assessed by the planet’s leading authorities on the subject. Proper destruction of private digital data has become a crucially important issue and NAID certification shows we are setting the bar high in that category.”

“ERI is the largest organization in the ITAD space to achieve this certification and is setting an example for its industry,” says NAID CEO Bob Johnson. “Secure data destruction is an ever-growing concern for businesses and consumers and they want to know their private information is completely secure, so ERI is doing something good here, not only for itself, but for all of its customers. By achieving NAID AAA certification, ERI not only verifies the security of their processes, they actually fulfill their customers’ compliance obligations related to selecting a service provider.”

ERI, the nation’s leading recycler of electronic waste and the world’s largest IT asset disposition (ITAD) and cybersecurity-focused hardware destruction company, is certified to demanufacture and recycle every type of electronic waste in an environmentally friendly manner. ERI processes more than 275 million pounds of electronic waste annually at eight locations, serving every zip code in the United States.
