R2 certification, short for Responsible Recycling, is a globally recognized standard for electronics recycling and refurbishment. To become R2 certified, organizations must undergo a rigorous auditing process conducted by accredited certifying bodies. This process involves demonstrating compliance with a set of stringent requirements encompassing environmental, health and safety, quality, and data security standards. Organizations must implement robust management systems, adhere to strict operational protocols, and undergo regular audits to maintain R2 certification.

At PTS Corp, we understand the intrinsic value of R2 certification. It plays a pivotal role in promoting sustainability within the dynamic realm of reverse logistics. Far from being a restrictive measure, R2 serves as a roadmap, guiding us toward responsible and sustainable management of used electronics.
