Commonwealth Computer Recycling (CCR), one of Pennsylvania’s largest providers of electronics collection and recycling services, has earned two important industry certifications for its work.
The company has received the Responsible Recycling Certification (R2:2013) and the Recycling Industry Operating Standard (RIOS). These certifications indicate that CCR has met or exceeded state and federal requirements for environmental sustainability and the responsible and secure recycling and destruction of electronics.
“We are very proud to receive these two very important certifications, as they signify to our customers that they can rest easy knowing their sensitive data and information will be destroyed in a manner that meets any government standard,” said Serdar Bankaci, president of CCR. “With our company, you know that you’re working with a team that provides high-quality service recognized by the organizations and agencies that drive our industry.”
The R2:2013 certification is the most up-to-date electronics recycling standard as recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. To qualify, businesses and organizations must meet strict standards in its processes for recycling data and equipment. The RIOS certification is also EPA-supported and is provided to companies that uphold the highest standards related to data destruction and protection, as well as environmental responsibility, health and safety and overall quality.
