CompuCycle Achieves Exclusive Woman-Owned E-Waste Certification in Texas

CompuCycle: Championing Secure E-Waste Processing in Texas

In a groundbreaking accomplishment for the tech industry, CompuCycle has announced its attainment of the esteemed ISO/IEC 27001 certification. This notable recognition places CompuCycle as the exclusive woman-owned e-waste processor in Texas to hold such a significant title, marking a new era in data security and sustainability within the realm of IT asset disposition (ITAD) and electronics recycling.

Understanding ISO/IEC 27001 Certification

ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognized standard that outlines the requirements for an effective Information Security Management System (ISMS). Its central focus is on ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of corporate data, thereby establishing stringent protocols for managing and safeguarding sensitive information. This certification not only highlights the company's commitment to protecting data but also outlines rigorous measures for secure disposal, reuse, and irreversible data sanitization of electronic devices.

A Statement From Leadership

Clive Hess, the President of CompuCycle, expressed his enthusiasm about this achievement, stating, "We are thrilled to be the only electronics processor in Texas awarded ISO 27001. This certification means our clients can have complete confidence that their data is secure when they choose CompuCycle. With these controls in place, the risk of a data breach is nearly eliminated."

Reinforcing Security Standards

The ISO 27001 certification bolsters CompuCycle's reputation as a leader in compliance, further highlighting its dual R2v3 and e-Stewards certifications. This comprehensive compliance stack also encompasses ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety). Together, these standards guarantee that clients' retired IT assets are treated securely, ethically, and with a sustainable approach.

Circular Economy Commitment

CompuCycle stands out as the first certified U.S. electronics recycler capable of processing all forms of e-waste—including metals and plastics—entirely on-site. This closed-loop recycling model minimizes downstream risk while delivering a robust accountability framework for businesses aiming for circularity and strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) outcomes.

Industry Leadership

As corporate leaders consider their IT asset disposition options, the inquiries shift: "Who offers the most responsible, secure, sustainable, and circular solutions?" CEO Kelly Hess believes that CompuCycle’s unique certifications, including the recent ISO 27001 achievement, position the company as the clear choice. "The real question becomes, ‘Why wouldn’t you choose CompuCycle?’"
