4THBIN is excited to announce that we are e-Stewards 4.0 certified! The e-Stewards Standard Version 4.0 implements the same core values, along with two new standards. The first being the requirement of the global environmental management system standard created by the International Standards Organization, ISO 14001. Additionally, e-Stewards V4.0 requires the current version of the international data security standard, NAID AAA Certification, including all NAID endorsements relevant to the Organization’s business model.

 

With these new standards, e-Stewards Standard Version 4.0 practices the highest levels of compliance. V4.0 fulfills top protocols for environmental, health, and safety management system norms, occupational health, social accountability, and privacy protection values. Additionally, e-Stewards V4.0 is compliant with new international waste trade laws, including the most recent amendments. 

 

At 4THBIN, we make sure things are done the right way, responsibly and sustainably. We have helped our clients recycle over 10 million pounds of e-waste, which has helped reduce over 14.5 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions and eliminated over 298k pounds of toxic metals and lead from our landfills. We are honored to say we were the first company in New York City to be certified by e-Stewards® and we continue to adhere to the most stringent environmental and socially responsible practices.

Celebrate Data Privacy Week 2025 with 4THBIN: Take Control of Your Data

Data Privacy Week 2025 is here, and it’s the perfect time to think about how we manage our data, both online and offline.
