There are now over 900 R2 Certified facilities in the world! R2 Certification means these facilities are reusing or recycling their electronics in a way that promotes resource preservation, environmental sustainability and the ongoing health and safety of both employees and the world at large.

e-WasteBy Erin JonesJanuary 9, 2019Leave a comment

I have been doing internal R2 audits for many years now. In those years I’ve had the opportunity to see lots of companies.
