Sims' US facilities upgrade to R2:2013 standards

CHICAGO (Scrap Monster): Sims Recycling Solutions has announced that the R2 certifications at all of the company’s US operations have been upgraded from R2:2008 to the latest R2:2013 standards. The company’s Indian and Australian facilities also are certified to R2 standards. The achievement demonstrates Sim’s commitment to uplift the industry’s level of standards.

According to the company, it gives top priority to staying at the top of standards when it comes to latest standards and security developments. The certification ensures that the company facilities within the US now conform to the latest standards in safety, security and environmental responsibility. The certified facilities provide tools and resources along with detailed implementation guide as per certification requirement.

R2:2013 allows electronics recyclers to highlight their value to customers, employees, their community and the public. R2:2013 was developed by a multi-stakeholder group –the R2 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The requirements contained within R2:2013 are comprehensive, covering environmental, health and safety, and data security practices. By certifying to this Standard through an accredited third-party Certification Body, electronics recyclers can help prospective purchasers of their services (customers) make informed decisions and have increased confidence that used and end-of-life electronic equipment are managed in an environmentally responsible manner, protective of the health and safety of workers and the public, and that all data on all media devices is secure until destroyed.
