A brief description of steps taken to ensure that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers’ basic safety is protected, and environmental standards are met:
eAsset Solutions is committed to environmentally friendly recycling and workplace safety; our practices go above and beyond state and federal regulations adhering to a much more rigorous standard developed by R2 Solutions. Please see the attached PDF, "Why choose an R2 recycler". Every certified R2 recycler has been rigorously audited by an independent third party auditor that evaluates each recycler in more than 50 areas of operational and environmental performance. These areas include, but are not limited to, ensuring that e-waste is recycled responsibly, workers safety is protected, and environmental standards are met. Regarding e-waste recycling and environmental standards - all of eAsset Solutions downstream partners (where our processed material goes for further refinement) have been audited and also must comply and be certified with either R2 or e-Stewards. In addition, eAsset Solutions and all of its vendor partners must also comply with an approved Environmental Management System such as ISO 14001 and/or The Recycling Industry Operating Standard (RIOS). eAsset Solutions is ISO 14001 Certified.
