Horizon Technology has added Responsible Recycling R2 Certification (R2:2013), accredited by Orion Registrar, to its list of industry certifications.

The R2 Standard, overseen by the non-profit Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (SERI), requires businesses that refurbish and recycle used electronics to comply with a common framework for safety, documentation and organizational processes.

“Horizon has always been committed to best practice at every stage of the IT asset disposition process,” said Stephen Buckler, chief operating officer of Horizon Technology. “As a business, we pride ourselves on offering robust, responsible ITAD services, with an emphasis on rigorous data security and environmental responsibility. R2 certification is a further recognition of our dedication to the safe, secure disposal of IT hardware in the data center.”

The business case for the responsible recycling of enterprise hardware is stronger than ever. According to reports, we are on track to produce 50 million tonnes of ewaste globally in 2018 alone.
