GQS Successfully Completes ISO 9001:2015 Certification for Maritrans Recycler, Inc., Philippines

Global Quality Services certifies Maritrans Recycler, Inc. under ISO 9001:2015, validating the company’s quality management framework across its electronic scrap recycling and industrial waste recovery operations in Laguna.

MANILA, Philippines, April 28, 2025 – Global Quality Services (GQS), a leading ISO certification consultancy and accredited lead auditor training provider operating across the Philippines and Southeast Asia, has successfully completed the ISO 9001:2015 certification process for Maritrans Recycler, Inc. The certification confirms that Maritrans Recycler, Inc. has established and maintains a Quality Management System (QMS) that meets the full requirements of ISO 9001:2015, the internationally recognized standard for quality management systems across industries.

ISO 9001:2015 requires organizations to demonstrate systematic control over their processes, consistent delivery of services that meet client and regulatory requirements, and a structured approach to risk management and continual improvement. For companies operating in the waste recovery and recycling sector, where material handling, client data confidentiality, and environmental regulatory compliance intersect, a certified QMS provides the operational discipline necessary to meet the expectations of multinational clients and government regulators alike.

Maritrans Recycler, Inc., headquartered in Laguna, Philippines, has been engaged in the management and recycling of electronic scrap since October 2000. Over more than two decades of operations, the company has built a comprehensive service offering that covers the treatment and recycling of electronic scrap, used solvents, used oil, used fluorescent tubes, used batteries, and other recoverable industrial waste streams, as well as the recovery of high-value materials including printed circuit boards, hard disk drives, integrated circuits, wafers, battery scrap, copper, brass, and semiconductor-related materials. A defining feature of Maritrans’ operations is its strict confidentiality protocols, which ensure that clients’ intellectual property embedded in decommissioned electronic equipment is fully protected throughout the disposal and metals recovery process.

The GQS certification audit was conducted through a structured two-stage process. Stage one assessed Maritrans Recycler’s QMS documentation, including its quality policy, process controls, risk register, supplier evaluation procedures, and client communication framework. Stage two involved a full on-site conformity audit across the company’s Laguna operations, verifying that the QMS was effectively implemented and consistently applied across material intake, processing, and client reporting functions. Maritrans Recycler, Inc. successfully completed both stages of the audit process.

“Maritrans Recycler, Inc. brings over two decades of operational experience to an industry where precision in material handling and client data protection are non-negotiable,” said Lead Consultant, Global Quality Services. “ISO 9001:2015 certification gives their clients a documented, auditable assurance of the quality controls that have always been part of how this company operates.”

The certification supports Maritrans Recycler’s compliance positioning under the Philippine Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (Republic Act 9003) and the Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Control Act (Republic Act 6969), both administered by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). For corporate clients managing decommissioned IT assets and industrial equipment, Maritrans’ ISO 9001 certification provides the quality assurance framework needed to satisfy internal procurement and vendor qualification requirements.

The certification is valid for three years and subject to annual surveillance audits conducted by GQS to verify ongoing conformance and continual improvement of the QMS.
