Rather than simply state that Intercon failed their audit end of story, they are dragging them through the mud and playing police. Who in their right mind would ever try and get e-stewards certification after this? Not me? ISO 14001 is looking pretty sweet about now.<br /><br />If I was Intercon I would go after BAN for slander.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956717416810052129.post-82801887510125137932011-07-06T10:09:55.799-04:002011-07-06T10:09:55.799-04:00If you look a little deeper, you will find that In...If you look a little deeper, you will find that Intercon Solutions shares a warehouse with a diesel engine remanufacturer that does a lot of business with companies in China. The pictures show nothing but 2 containers sitting in the middle of a truck yard. Absolutely zero evidence and is a shame that this company has to go through BAN's finger pointing BS. Who the hell ships CRT cullets to China anyway? Waste of Money.<br /><br />Just a bunch of attention whores.

But recall that BAN's letter to Indonesia concerning PT Imtech, a CRT refurbishing factory, contained the same claims (containers contained "waste CRTs" - the containers were returned to the USA with seal intact, unopened). BAN's letter to Malaysia (resulting in Samsung Corning CRT plant closing to USA cullet) made a similar pronouncement / claim about cullet recycling. BAN ignores/protests Basel Convention Annex IX B1110 which specifically allows export of CRTs for reuse, repair and refurbishment. So the fact BAN made the accusation is meaningless. However, Intercon has adamantly claimed they do NOT export CRTs for reuse or refurbishment, so the whole thing smells either way.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669077665223573133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956717416810052129.post-91956687631056021932011-07-06T08:31:51.231-04:002011-07-06T08:31:51.231-04:00Hi Robin, the Electronic Waste Journal said the co...Hi Robin, the Electronic Waste Journal said the containers were 'waste CRT's'. <br /><br />the plot thickens...Grahamnoreply@blogger.com
