The Mendota Heights, Minn., electronics recycling firm MPC, formerly known as Materials Processing Corp., has reported that its Philadelphia location has earned R2 (Responsible Recycling) certification. MPC says only a handful of Philadelphia-area electronics recyclers have achieved the certification.
R2 certification is a voluntary standard for the electronic scrap recycling industry established through a multi-stakeholder effort.
MPC’s Philadelphia location already is ISO 9001 and 14001 registered.
“It is a great pleasure to further validate the credibility of our environmental, quality, health and safety management system and the processes we have developed,” says Theresa Bauer, MPC director of compliance, EHSS (environment, health and safety services). “The accomplishment of certification for ISO 14001, 9001 and R2 at our new Philadelphia location makes us confident in our mitigation of data security, environmental, health and safety risks,” she adds.
“In an industry that is changing and defining itself daily, it is important to meet and exceed any environmental certification or standard set forth,” says Todd Schachtman, chief business development officer, MPC. “As a national industry leader, our commitment to these standards provides our clients and business partners with complete transparency with the most responsible and secure asset disposition and recycling processes possible.”
