Hellenic earns WEELABEX certification
<![CDATA[

Corinth, Greece-based Hellenic Fridge Recycling S.A. (HFR) says it has become the first company in Greece to be awarded the international WEEELABEX certificate for the demanufacturing and recycling of end-of-life refrigeration equipment.

WEEELABEX (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Label of Excellence) is a Prague, Czech Rebublic-based non-profit organization involved in the certification of how end-of-life electronics are handled.

Established in 2013, the organization has set itself the goal of optimizing the systems and processes used for the collection and treatment of electronic scrap and end-of-life appliances in Europe. Certification is based on established WEEELABEX standards.

“The WEEELABEX certification procedure was the most thorough technical and administrative audit that our company has ever subjected itself to,” say Diogenis Vakontios and Ilias Margaritis, the managers at HFR who supervised the audit.

They also write, “We are proud to be the first company in Greece to have independently applied for WEEELABEX testing and to have now received WEEELABEX certification after our successful audit. The award of the WEEELABEX certification demonstrates once again the quality of our [refrigerator] demanufacturing services.”

The certificate is valid for two years, and HFR indicates it will be applying to renew certification at the beginning of 2021.
