Intechra’s Connecticut Facility Receives R2/RIOS Certification

The IT asset disposition (ITAD) company Intechra, headquartered in Jackson, Miss., has announced that its Hartford, Ct., processing facility has achieved R2/RIOS certification.

This certification program combines the Responsible Recycling (R2) practices, facilitated by the Environmental Protection Agency and key stakeholders, with the Recycling Industry Operating Standard (RIOS) certification, developed by the Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries. Intechra notes that companies achieving this certification are designated as Certified Electronics Recyclers.

“We are pleased to have completed the certification process for the Hartford facility. Coming on the heels of our R2/RIOS certification in both the Columbus, Ohio, and Dallas facilities, the certification of Intechra’s Hartford facility further reinforces our commitment to environmental stewardship, risk mitigation and our clients’ security,” says Michael Profit, Intechra president.  

“We believe achieving this certification confirms our position as one of the top-tier ITAD vendors in the market. This accomplishment is a critical step in our objective to ensure that Intechra is well positioned to demonstrate our commitment to sustaining electronics recycling industry standards and certifications in 2011. We are currently in the process of certifying our Reno, Nev., facility.”
