Corporate eWaste Solutions (CEWS), a California-based provider of certified electronics recycling and IT asset disposition services (ITAD), has appointed Mike Susmark and Philip Serrone as director of operations of its facilities in Phoenix and Olathe, Kansas, respectively.

CEWS says it continues to expand its recycling operations to meet the need for proper e-scrap management solutions. The recently opened Arizona and Kansas locations are the latest in its expansion plans.

As directors, Susmark and Serrone will oversee daily operations, safety compliance and team development while ensuring the standards of environmental responsibility and data security are maintained.

"We're excited to welcome Mike and Phillip to our leadership team," CEWS founder and CEO Eric Chu says. "Each brings extensive experience and commitment to environmental stewardship. They align perfectly with our mission to solve tomorrow's unrelenting problem of e-waste today through responsible and comprehensive electronics recycling and disposition methods."

Located at 111 E Buckeye Road, the Phoenix plant covers 92,000 square feet. The Olathe plant is located at 16575 S Theden St., Suite 160, and encompasses 132,000 square feet. Both plants are R2v3, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified, and the Olathe plant is also ISO 9001 certified. Both facilities provide a spectrum of sustainable services including electronics recycling, mechanical data destruction and dismantling. The Phoenix plant also performs shredding services.

According to the company, both plants are equipped with 12 or more loading docks, radio-frequency identification (RFID) card access control and a state-of-the-art surveillance system of 17 or more cameras, including 10 fisheye lenses that ensure comprehensive warehouse coverage.
