A Word About Recycling with Ollie Maier

In a previous column, we wrote a little about an update standard in the electronic recycling area. The info comes from an article in the Resource Recycling newsletter. We will continue with that subject today.

In the previous column, we related there is a new standard for electronics recycling. It is R2v3 which replaced the R2:2013 Standard for electronics recycling and reuse.

As a spokesperson explained, “We would like to assure R2 certified facilities that no facility will be required to transition to the R2v3 Standard for at least 1.5 years from the July 1 release date, and we will continue to monitor the situation as we determine the final transition timeline.”
