![]() Aeris Protective Packaging Receives Distinguished e-Stewards Enterprise Designation Joins Gold Standard Electronics Recycling ProgramBy: Aeris Protective Packaging Inc. Aeris Protective Packaging, based in Montreal, is passionate about preventing waste at the front-and back-end of the product life cycle by providing the most effective and high-quality engineered packaging solutions to reduce the risk of product breakage during transport. Their inflatable air-chamber packaging solutions are used to protect electronics, medical devices, automotive parts, musical instruments, and other sensitive and valuable products. "We are thrilled to have Aeris embrace our efforts to foster a true and ethical circular economy in the field of electronics," said Prema George, e-Stewards Certification Director. "They are an innovative service provider to the electronics industry. As such, they will be in a good place to share the e-Stewards vision of design for the environment and responsible waste management." "From the beginning Aeris was conceived with sustainability and waste avoidance in mind, and we want to perpetuate those values in all we do," said Michael Leiberman, President of Aeris. "As we are intimately involved in servicing the electronics industry, as we are already all about reducing e-waste, it makes perfect sense to ensure that our own electronic wastes will be managed safely and do no downstream harm. e-Stewards Certified recyclers undergo rigorous third-party audits annually to ensure they manage data and toxic materials safely and ethically. To further verify strict conformity with proper recycling, e-Stewards recyclers agree to be subject to unannounced inspections at any time, as well as the random, clandestine use of GPS trackers to track their e-waste flows downstream. e-Stewards Enterprise companies like Aeris support this movement by committing to making best efforts to use e-Stewards Certified recyclers for their own electronic waste. Besides the gold recycling standard, e-Stewards offers partnership programs including the e-Stewards ADVANCE+ Program, which fosters engagement of autistic spectrum and disabled workers in the recycling sector.
