Responsible Recycling (R2)

Responsible Recycling (R2) is a set of standards that guides electronics recyclers to process electronic waste safely, ethically, and environmentally responsibly. It ensures that hazardous materials like lead and mercury are properly managed to protect workers and the environment. R2 also emphasizes data security, responsible reuse, and proper disposal of obsolete electronics. By following R2, recycling facilities demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, legal compliance, and social responsibility, helping to reduce electronic waste's negative impact while promoting reuse and recycling of valuable materials.
