Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS), with North American headquarters in Chicago, has announced that its Sparks, Nev., electronics recycling facility has been certified to the Responsible Recycling Practices for Electronics Recyclers (R2) standard.
R2 sets forth environmental, worker health and safety and security requirements for electronics recyclers.
This standard is supported by major electronic OEMs, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Inc., the Information Technology Industry Council, public interest groups, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and U.S. state and local governments.
“We are pleased to have our Reno facility registered to the R2 standard,” says Steve Skurnac, president of Sims Recycling Solutions North America. “As the largest electronics recycler to receive this certification, we hope to set the standard for other recyclers in the industry.”
