In 2003, the Basel Action Network followed in the footsteps of Fair Trade Coffee, the Forest Stewardship Council, and other NGO efforts by helping consumers and businesses make the right choices, and launched the e-Stewards Pledge program. Over 40 e-recyclers with 100 locations across the US were qualified by BAN as meeting a pledge to use only globally responsible, safe means to process e-waste. BAN’s Pledge remained the only program in North America that made significant strides to establish and ensure e-recycling best practices for the toxic materials: no disposal in landfills or incinerators, no prison labor, and no export to poor communities.
