R2

¡¤ R2 standard
R2 Standard, which has been developed and continually improved by SERI, is the premier global environmental, worker health and safety standard for the electronics refurbishing and recycling industry.
¡¤ The Used Electronics Challenge
¡¤ What are used electronics?

used electronics vary widely in size, shape, weight, age and technological complexity - including everything from last year's high end mobile phone, to a server in a data center. Many of these products can be repaired and reused. All others can be recycled for their scrap materials.

¡¤ A growing problem

Approximately 15 pounds of used electronics are rated per capita worldwide ¡¤ but than 20 % are recycled. The volume of used electronics is expected to increase over 33 % by the end of the decade, with much of that growth coming from emerging economies.

¡¤ Environment and data risks

Electronics can contain mercury, cadmium, phosphors, lead, and other substances that can contaminate the air, soil, and water if sent to a landfill or are otherwise improperly managed. Increasing numbers of electronic devices also contain sensitive user data, including contact information, credit cards, medical histories, photos, and other information.

¡¤ Responsible Management
¡¤ Repair & Reuse

Reuse is widely recognized as the most environmentally beneficial form of materials management, Repairing and reusing electronics extends the useful life of products and keeps them out of the waste stream, It also recovers more value per unit than any other form of materials management. Not only that, reusing electronics devices reduces the need to manufacture new units, and makes affordable electronics more accessible to a wider range of consumers.

¡¤ Recycling

Recovery of valuable metals and other materials from end-of-life electronics provides a sustainable solution when reuse is no longer feasible. " Urban mining" for rare and precious materials contained in electronic devices stretches our planer's limited supply of natural resources and requires less energy than the mining of new metals.

¡¤ Getting Certification
¡¤ Getting Started with R2

This first step in the certification process is to fill out an application with SERI, This is a short process that asks ! some basic information about your company / facility, and designates a point of contact who SERI will communicate with during the certification process.

¡¤ Choose a Certifying Body

After applying for a license, a facility should contact a SERI - approved certification body ( CB ) to conduct the audit and issue the R 2 certificate. Recyclers interested in obtaining R2 certification choose from only the CBs approved by SERI. A recycler seeking to obtain R 2 certification should consider their CB selection based on schedule availability, price, customer service and training offered to help a firm through this process. Once a recycler has decided on a CB, they will enter into a contract with them and begin the process. All information communicated to the CB during the audit process will be maintained as confidential information.

¡¤ Stage 1 Audit

Facility and Document Review An auditor from the CB will visit the facility and conduct an inspection of the operational areas related to the R 2 Standard, The auditor will review relevant, documentation that demonstrates facility conformity to to the standard, The Stage 1 Audit is the first step in the registration process. Stage 1 Corrective Action The CIS will issue an interim report that details the findings of the stage one audit, This report will note areas of conformity and non - conformity. if any non-conformance is identified during the audit, the recycler will need to take corrective action to come into conformity and demonstrate the corrective action has occurred. 11 there s a major non-conformance found in an operational area, an auditor may have to conduct a second site visit, For other types non-conformances, the auditor will review supporting documentation that demonstrates the corrective actions have brought the facility into conformity with the R 2 Practices.

¡¤ Stage 2 Audit

implementation Audit The second stage of the registration audit involves the auditor reviewing the implementation of the R 2 management system. The auditor will spend consider able time interviewing key personnel of the organization, do a detailed site tour as well as ensuring that policies and procedures have been successfully implemented onsite. The scope of the organization is also verified at this stage for the purpose of the certificate.

Stage 2 Corrective Action As with your first auditor report and corrective action period, a recycler will need to take corrective action to come into conformity and demonstrate the corrective action has occurred, if any issues arise a Stage 2 Audit.

¡¤ Certification

if a recycler passes both audits, and successfully performs any corrective actions, certification will be awarded by the recycler's CB.

¡¤ Annual Maintenance

Annual maintenance of your R 2 Certification requires renewing facility's R2 license as well as scheduling and conducting a surveillance audit with your CB. Following this audit, your CB will issue a report of findings, and your facility will need to take corrective action regarding any issues identified.

¡¤ Recertification

R2 certification is effective for periods of three years, at which point a facility will need to go through the certification process again.
