Get in touch for a free quote from one of our experienced teams to get your R2 Responsible Recycling certification.
Our team will get in touch to outline the process and explain the plan for your initial assessment. We can also signpost you to any resources that you might find useful on your journey to becoming certified.
Referred to as a “Stage one assessment”, our auditor will conduct an initial review of your management system to determine if the core requirements of the standard are being met. We will provide a detailed report outlining the areas you need to focus on in order to comply with the requirements.
When you are ready, an auditor will conduct a “Stage two assessment” to establish if your organization meets the standard’s requirements. We review actions taken to address findings raised at Stage One, and our auditor will make a recommendation as to whether certification can be issued based on the audit outcomes.
Following a review by our Compliance Team, a decision will be made as to whether your certification can be issued.

In 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency identified a demand to improve practices relating to operational and environmental challenges in the e-recycling and repair industry. Therefore the EPA organized a course to create a non-profitable, market-driven means for encouraging positive practices in electronics recycling. Hence the Responsible Recycling (R2) Standard was born.
R2v3 is an expansion on the R2 Standard, which mirrors progressive changes in the electronics industry, encompassing customer demands and environmental impacts. The framework for R2v3 is a result of responses from customers, industry members and the broader community from the R2 standard program. Such feedback is used to construct an upgraded Standard that closely reflects today’s industrial climate. The R2v3 is more intelligent and proficient in safeguarding data, environments and communities worldwide.
The R2:2013 standard will be valid until July 1, 2023.
After this date, organizations will need to be re-assessed for the R2v3 Standard. Amtivo recommended that clients had their R2v3 transition surveillance or recertification completed by February 2023, as all R2:2013 Certifications expire on this on June 30, 2023. This provides Amtivo with sufficient time to re-certify your organization before the R2 expiration date.
The R2v3 Standard is effective for three years and will then be subjected to renewal.
