company based in Tulsa, has become Oklahoma's first recycler certified to
the e-Stewards Standard
<http://e2ma.net/go/11065938961/208916873/234378255/1400891/goto:http:/www.e
-stewards.org>  for Responsible Recycling and Reuse of Electronics. The
award of the e-Stewards certification was the result of passing a rigorous
audit to ensure globally responsible handing of electronic waste, and also
included an ISO 14001 environmental management system certification, as well
as an R2 Certification, a secondary certification for the electronics
recycling industry.  E-Stewards is considered to be the gold standard for
responsible electronics recycling, being the most rigorous and
comprehensive.

According to Traci Phillips, CEO of Natural Evolution, her decision to
undergo certification confirms the company's decade-long commitment to
recycling electronics without causing environmental, economic or social harm
anywhere in the world.

"It is our belief that the e-Stewards Standard is by far the most rigorous,
and responsible standard that exists today for the electronics recycling
industry," Ms. Phillips said. "It provides for the continuous monitoring and
auditing of downstream recyclers and material flow, ensures the proper
handling of e-waste, and prevents the illicit export of hazardous waste to
developing countries."

Natural Evolution has a culturally diverse team of employees that are
dedicated to responsible recycling of hazardous electronic waste within the
United States.

"We're thrilled to have Natural Evolution as a member of our growing
community of responsible Certified e-Stewards Recyclers," said Jim Puckett,
Executive Director of the Basel Action Network. "They bring truly
responsible electronics recycling services to companies and communities
throughout the Southwest & Midwest regions of the United States."
