CloudBlue Technologies Inc., headquartered in Alpharetta, Ga., announces that it has added 25 Fortune 500 customers in the last 12 months in the financial services, healthcare, insurance, media, and manufacturing industries. “It’s not just about scrap recycling anymore. The next generation of e-Waste management merges social responsibility with a professional services-oriented approach that allows enterprises to outsource the complexity and risk associated with disposing of electronics in multiple geographies throughout the world,” says Ken Beyer, CEO of CloudBlue. “We’re focused on solving the global problem of e-Waste. Companies are demanding auditable solutions that meet growing compliance requirements, are greener and more secure; and our business model delivers all of those.”

CloudBlue has 16 facilities throughout the world, including locations in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The company manages all of the logistics of IT asset disposal, from pick-up to transportation to destruction or recycling.

The company also says that it is an e-Stewards recycler certified by the Basel Action Network (BAN).

“We have a program in place to ensure that no hazardous electronic waste is exported to developing countries. As an e-Stewards recycler, CloudBlue has been qualified as upholding the highest standard of environmental and social responsibility,” says Jim Puckett, BAN’s executive director.

The company also notes that it has recently secured Series B funding from the private equity firm Riverwood Capital that will allow CloudBlue to expand its professional services globally.
