PlanITROI Attains Certifications

PlanITROI, an IT asset disposition firm in Denville, N.J., has announced that it has been certified to the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and R2 (Responsible Recycling Practices) standards.

“Our systems have been compliant with the rigorous ISO and R2 standards for years,” says Ed Stukane, chief managing officer of PlanITROI. “With these formal certifications in hand, clients have no doubt of the company’s dedication to strict data security procedures, environmental advocacy and the production of a high quality refurbished product that will provide an industry-leading ROI.”

ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard for the quality management of systems and processes, while the ISO 14001 standard is based on an audit of a company’s environmental management system. The R2 standard sets forth practices that are specific to the electronics recycling industry, including employee health and safety and data security.

“Our business model focuses on the refurbishment and remarketing of retired IT assets,” Stukane says. “Environmentally, re-using IT equipment, and specifically laptops, desktops and tablets, is far more beneficial then recycling.” He continues, “PlanITROI remarkets 90 percent of the assets we receive from our clients. Our process of adding value to refurbished equipment assures a greater ROI for clients. The ISO and R2 certifications reinforce our expertise in the responsible remanufacturing of this equipment.”
