Sims Recycling Solutions achieves R2:2013 certification at UK site

Sims Recycling Solutions (SRS), a global provider of electronics recycling and information technology asset disposition (ITAD) services, has achieved Responsible Recycling (R2:2013) certification at its waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) recycling site in Stalybridge, U.K.

“Achieving the R2 certification at our Stalybridge electronic waste recycling site raises the bar for WEEE-treatment companies in the U.K. and shows our commitment to recycling end-of-life electronic equipment in the U.K. market,” says Steve Skurnac, president of SRS, which is headquartered in West Chicago, Illinois, in the United States.

With R2:2013 certification, SRS says, customers can have confidence that used and end-of-life electronic equipment are appropriately managed in a manner that is environmentally responsible, protects the health and safety of workers and the public and secures data.

The R2:2013 standards require sites to obtain one or more generally accepted environmental and health and safety management system.

SRS in Stalybridge also is accredited to the ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certification programs.
