OUR PROCESS...
In today’s world of ever advancing technology computers and electronics
are obsolete the day they leave the store shelves. As
a result, several problems arise including personal and financial data security issues, disposition of potentially hazardous
materials in natural areas and waste by improper disposal of valuable resources into landfills.
JVS has implemented an approved Environmental Health and Safety
Management System that protects our workers and the environment from harmful hazards and contaminants.
We adhere to the Responsible Recycling Standards to manage
obsolete electronic equipment. Electronics received at our facility are first inspected and all digital storage devices
including hard drives, floppy or compact disks and memory cards are removed and destroyed either by complete physical destruction
(in accordance with NSA standards) or by use of certified data sanitizing software which complies with the United States Department
of Defense (DOD 5220.22-M) standard for data sanitization. Asset tags that identify the origin of the equipment
are removed and subsequently destroyed. The equipment is then graded to determine reuse or remarketing
potential. Reusable computers are repaired and remarketed and receive a new life. All
non usable or obsolete equipment is demanufactured and the raw materials generated from this process are
refined as commodities and returned to the raw material market.
JVS
does not use prison labor in any of its processes... JVS does not export non working or untested equipment
overseas... JVS protects its customer’s data...
To comply with the laws and regulations of Pennsylvania JVS obtained the
WMGR081 permit in early 2007 to demanufacture and recycle electronics.
In June of 2011 JVS obtained its R2 Certification to conform with PA Act
108 requirements.
