Wisetek’s Chris O’Neill Speaks with NSAI on Responsible Recycling and Standards

Wisetek was recently invited by the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI), the International Organisation for Standardisation member body for the Republic of Ireland, to take part in their new case study series to share insights into the significance of setting standards and responsible recycling.

Chris O’Neill, International Quality & Compliance Manager for Wisetek, sat down with the NSAI to discuss the crucial role of standards in the realm of recycling and how Wisetek upholds these standards in its operations.

The interview touched upon key topics such as environmental sustainability, ethical recycling practices, and the importance of adhering to established standards to ensure quality and compliance.

Chris emphasised Wisetek’s dedication to responsible recycling, underscoring the company’s commitment to minimising its environmental footprint while maximising the reuse and recycling of electronic waste. Chris discussed why Wisetek chose to shift its R2 registration to ensure it had a global reputation, which enables it to signpost to current and potential customers that its processes are safe, transparent and trustworthy. He discussed how Wisetek’s adherence to stringent standards not only ensures the ethical disposal of electronic equipment but also contributes to a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Among the main points covered in the interview were Wisetek’s innovative approaches to recycling, including the utilisation of cutting-edge technology and processes to extract valuable materials from end-of-life electronics while minimising waste. Chris also highlighted Wisetek’s collaborative efforts with industry partners and regulatory bodies to promote responsible recycling practices and drive positive change in the electronics recycling sector.
