About the R2/RIOS certification

The R2 standard, facilitated and supported by Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (SERI), was the result of a multi-stakeholder process that included government agencies, major OEMs, recyclers, and other experts in sustainability and recycling. R2 requires a management system such as RIOS, as well as stringent controls and tracking of products and materials "downstream" of the recycler, including verifying the legality of exports, health and safety of workers.

The Recycling Industry Operating Standard ("RIOS") was introduced by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries. RIOS provides a framework for a comprehensive, integrated management system that includes key operational and continual improvement elements targeting quality, environmental and health and safety performance. The six components of RIOS cover general requirements, policy, planning, implementation, checking and corrective action, and management.
