The R2 certification is a global standard for responsible electronics recycling and refurbishing. It’s administered by Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (SERI), a non-profit organization. The R2 Standard ensures that organizations handling electronics prioritize environmental protection, worker safety, and data security. It is widely adopted by recyclers, refurbishers, and other electronics management entities to promote responsible e-waste management practices. Data security, environmental responsibility and traceability are some of the key principles of R2 certification. Emphasis has been laid on down stream vendor management ( DVM) and focus material management.

R2 Certification is a vital tool for organizations committed to responsible e-waste management. By achieving R2 certification, companies demonstrate their dedication to environmental sustainability, data protection, and ethical business practices. This not only enhances their reputation but also aligns them with global efforts to reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste.
