The responsible recycling standard (R2) for recyclers of electronic products

The responsible recycling standard (R2) for recyclers of electronic products

Today, customers of recycling companies want evidence of the management of the environment, safety, and health of workers. More and more customers will insist that they have an independent electronic recycling certification to verify the compliance of their recycling management system with the most stringent requirements.

The R2 Standard is the international reference standard for environmental management, health, safety, and the requirements of manufacturers and regulators in the recycling and recovery of electronic equipment. R2 is the voluntary standard for specific operational practices for electronic recycling companies.&

The recycling of electronic products faces specific problems in various aspects. Hazardous chemicals including lead, cadmium, arsenic, and mercury are normally found in electronic equipment and pose risks to the environment and to workers in the recycling operation. This standard provides a framework for its management system that focuses on environmental, safety and health problems of workers and information security directly related to the recycling of electronic material.

R2 is the industry's operating standard and obtaining its certification demonstrates its knowledge of recycling electronic products safely. The information stored in computer equipment, copiers, and other electronic devices must be properly managed to avoid undue distribution.
