WHY
R2: Choosing the right electronics recycler to manager your company’s
IT assets is a critically important decision. Selecting the wrong
electronics recycler can mean exposing your company to data mismanagement,
and putting your company at unnecessary legal and financial risk.
Contracting with an electronics recycler that is R2 Certified means peace of
mind in knowing that your company’s IT assets are being managed by a
recycler that has demonstrated they have a system in place to properly
handle materials according to the R2 Standard. And, finding an electronics
recycler that is R2 Certified is easy. Recyclers from all regions of the
country and around the world, offering a wide range of asset disposal and
management services, have been R2 Certified. And, the list continues
to grow rapidly.
