Redemtech Leading Europe's Fight Against Illicit E-waste Exports as EU's First e-Stewards Certified Recycler

First Globally Accredited E-waste Standard Helps Companies Ensure Environmental Responsibility -

SURREY, England, September 21, 2010 - Despite laws and international treaties that ban export of electronic
waste (e-waste) from Europe to developing countries, recent media reports
(www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-10846395) have spotlighted how this
illicit trade continues to flow freely and devastate the environment in
impoverished nations across Africa and Asia. Redemtech
(www.redemtech.com), a world leader in IT asset management and
Technology Change Management (TCM), is the first company to achieve
e-Stewards(R) Electronic Recycling Certification in Europe - a key advantage
toward helping European Union and multi-national organisations ensure
environmental responsibility and legal compliance.

E-Stewards (www.redemtech.com/ban-e-stewards-initiative.aspx) is a
globally accredited, third-party audited program developed by the Basel
Action Network (BAN), with support from environmental groups and industry
leaders. E-Stewards is the first certification standard available in Europe
that ensures that recyclers do not deposit toxic e-waste in landfills or
export it to the developing world.

E-Stewards certification enforces compliance with European WEEE
regulations by demanding a level of accountability and audit control that is
unprecedented in the industry.

The Redemtech TCM Centre in Surrey, U.K., is the first
e-Stewards-Certified facility in Europe - and the first outside the United
States. "E-waste is an ongoing problem across Europe, and we are committed to
delivering solutions of the highest standard for our clients, to ensure an
efficient, cost-effective approach to essential due diligence," said Robert
Houghton, president of Redemtech.

While the EU has enacted advanced e-waste disposition policies, laws are
not always applied evenly across all member countries, and full enforcement
is not possible, according to Jim Puckett, executive director of BAN.

"Redemtech has been a long-term advocate for globally responsible
electronics recycling and is an e-Stewards Founder," said Puckett. "With its
expanding global presence and focus on reuse of computer equipment, Redemtech
enables European enterprises to ensure the highest standards of environmental
stewardship."

Established in Europe in 2002, Redemtech serves large enterprises in a
wide range of industries across the U.K. and European mainland.

"The e-Stewards standard is consistent with the operating practices we
have employed at this facility since its inception," said Robin Gue, Managing
Director of Redemtech's European operations. "The certification gives our
clients added confidence that their electronic waste is not contributing to
the global e-waste problem and is being handled in accordance with all local
and international laws."
