Recycler Application Process

« Return to "Info for Electronics Recyclers"

Recyclers may apply to ESABC to become new Return-It Electronics recyclers.

By following the application process below, you can provide ESABC with all the necessary documents to determine if you meet the necessary standards for ESABC to move forward with a recycler audit of your organization under the Recycler Vendor Qualification Process (RVQP).

The recycler qualification process has three main objectives:

1) To ensure all EOLE and its waste are handled, transported, processed, stored, and disposed in an environmentally sound manner.

2) To ensure that potentially hazardous components of EOLE are processed in such a manner that reduces negative impact on the environment and worker health and safety.

3) To track the downstream flow of materials through to the point of final processing or disposition to ensure potentially hazardous components of EOLE are not sent to developing nations for the purpose of recycling and/or disposal.

The RVQ Process, Guidance on Sound Electronics Recycling and associated Electronic Recycling Standard can be found by downloading and reading the following five documents (linked at the bottom of this page):

  1. Primary Recycler Introduction Letter
  2. ESABC Webinar Information for New Recyclers
  3. EPSC Recycler Vendor Qualification Process
  4. EPSC Electronics Recycling Guidance Document
  5. ESPC Electronics Recycling Standard

Once you have finished downloading and reading these documents, you may download the Recycler Application Document and fill it out:

  • Recycler Application Document

This can then be returned along with necessary process information and copies of your operations permits to Encorp Pacific.

Please note: If your application has the following deficiencies, the application will not be accepted:

  • Non management of mercury bulbs and batteries before shredding
  • Shipping of hazardous materials and scrap to a non-OECD Country
  • Missing information on downstream sub vendors
  • Missing processes to ensure EH&S and regulatory compliance

Once complete, your application, including electronically-enclosed documents, can be emailed to tyler@encorpinc.com. Or, you may print them out and sent them via postal mail to:
