The updated version of e-Stewards has been described as a comprehensive, “one-stop shop” for the e-scrap industry and one that will now cost less than R2 certification, once total costs and license fees are calculated. e-Stewards will not include R2, due to copyright issues with the standard. Specific changes to the certification will address a rising concern with data security and the overall clarity of e-Stewards certification language. Increased blood testing will also be considered and EPEAT will become fully incorporated in the new iteration of the e-Stewards certification. Air monitoring testing at e-Stewards facilities may be reduced if initial testing indicates no air issues exist.
