The Responsible Recycling (R2) certification is a globally recognized standard for electronics recycling, designed to promote responsible practices in the handling, processing, and disposal of used and end-of-life electronics. As electronic waste (e-waste) continues to grow, R2 certification ensures that your business meets the highest environmental, health, and safety standards for the responsible management of e-waste. In India, where e-waste management is a pressing concern, R2 certification not only helps businesses comply with legal requirements but also fosters sustainable practices, boosting your credibility and marketability.
R2 certification, governed by SERI (Sustainable Electronics Recycling International), sets out standards for electronics recyclers to safely and sustainably handle e-waste. It provides guidelines on environmental protection, worker health and safety, data security, and proper disposal of hazardous materials. Companies that obtain R2 certification demonstrate their commitment to responsible e-waste management, ensuring that valuable materials are reused or recycled, while harmful materials are safely disposed of. The certification promotes transparency and accountability in the electronics recycling industry, contributing to a cleaner environment.
R2 certification is applicable to companies involved in the recycling, refurbishing, and disposal of used electronics. This includes:
