Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS), a West Chicago, Illinois-based global provider of electronics recycling and IT asset disposition services, has announced it recently received Responsible Recycling (R2:2013) certification at its electronic waste recycling site in Stalybridge, U.K.
This R2 certification is a globally recognized industry standard for managing environmental, health, safety and security aspects of electronics reuse and recycling operations. It is accredited by a third-party certification body.
The Stalybridge facility has the capacity to recycle, shred and manually dismantle up to 32,000 tons of ewaste each year.
“Achieving the R2 certification at our Stalybridge electronic waste recycling site raises the bar for WEEE (waste electric and electronic equipment) treatment companies in the U.K., and shows our commitment to recycling end-of-life electronic equipment in the U.K. market,” says Steve Skurnac, president of SRS.
SRS says with R2:2013 certification customers can have confidence that used and end-of-life electronic equipment are appropriately managed in a manner that is:
- environmentally responsible;
- protective of the health and safety of workers, and the public; and
- data-secure for all data stored on media devices.
The R2:2013 standards require sites to obtain one or more generally accepted environmental, health and safety management systems.
SRS in Stalybridge also is accredited for the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certification programs.
SRS provides disposition services for all types of retired electronic equipment to local, national and global customers in every business sector including data centers, health care, financial service and technical organizations. The company is part of Sims Metal Management Ltd., the world’s leading publicly listed metal and electronics recycler with headquarters in New York and Sydney.
