Recycling Standards
R2 - Responsible Recycling
The R2:2013 standard establishes responsible recycling (“R2”) practices for the recycling of electronics globally. By certifying to this Standard through an accredited third-party certification body, electronics recyclers can help prospective purchasers (customers) learn of their services, make informed decisions, and have increased confidence that used and end-of-life electronic equipment are managed in an environmentally responsible manner. It also protects the health and safety of workers and the public and ensures data on all media devices is secure until destroyed.
RIOS - Recycling Industry Operating Standard
The Recycling Industry Operating Standard (RIOS) is the recycling industry’s management system standard for quality, environment and health & safety (QEH&S). Specifically designed for the recycling industry, RIOS integrates the key operational elements found in other standards, such as ISO 9001 (QMS), ISO 14001 (EMS), and OHSAS 18001 (OHSMS), bringing them together into one streamlined management system.
