NEW YORK, June 21, 2021 – 4THBIN, a leading e-recycler and data destruction company, announces today the appointment of 4THBIN’s CEO, Paul Kirsch, to e-Stewards’ Leadership Council, effective January 2022.   

e-Stewards is the industry’s gold standard that recognizes electronics recyclers that adhere to the most stringent environmental and socially responsible practices. 4THBIN was New York City’s first company to be certified by e-Stewards and has received Ecovadis’ platinum rating, placing 4THBIN in the top 1% of their most responsible companies.

“Electronic waste continues to be the fastest-growing waste stream, yet the recycling rates remain disappointingly low,” said Mr. Kirsch. “The opportunity to have a big impact is real, and I am excited to join e-Stewards Leadership Council in their mission to drive awareness of, and motivate action against, this unprecedented challenge,” added Kirsch.

With this appointment, Mr. Kirsch will join a diverse multi-stakeholder community that ranges from non-profits, small businesses to multi-million-dollar transnational companies united around developing and promoting responsible electronics recycling reuse best practices worldwide.

The e-Stewards Leadership Council serves as an advisory body, making recommendations to the e-Stewards program in areas including international expansion, the e-Stewards Standard development, environmental and social policy, as well as technical matters related to electronics recycling and reuse.

Halloween is a season full of thrills, chills, and surprises, but some of the scariest things are hiding right in your home or office. Old electronics may look harmless, but laptops, monitors, phones, and retired devices can be more frightening than any ghost. They often contain sensitive data and toxic materials that can come back to haunt you if not properly managed. Forgotten devices are more than clutter; they are hidden monsters waiting to be unleashed.

The Growing E-Waste Challenge and How 4THBIN Can Help

As technology continues to evolve, so does the amount of outdated equipment businesses must manage. In 2022 alone, the world generated more than 62 million metric tonnes of electronic waste, much of which still goes unrecycled or improperly handled. For many organizations, managing retired devices often falls to the bottom of the priority list. But as these devices stack up in storage closets or are discarded through unofficial channels, they quietly create risks to both data security and the environment.
