How can Samsung ensure that the recycling of these consumer electronics and their components will be done in a safe and legal way?

By selecting recyclers that do not incinerate, send to solid waste landfill, or export toxic waste (defined in a manner consistent with the commonly accepted definition of hazardous electronic waste) to developing countries-further enforced by ongoing audits and inspections of our recycling partner operations and processes-we are managing to the best of our ability that your consumer electronics are being recycled in the most responsible way possible. In fact, our chosen SRD program recycler partners are now recyclers who have committed to the e-Stewards program. Consequently, the level of overall auditing is very strong, as required by the e-Stewards program.  more
