It promotes compliance with environmental, health, and safety management systems. R2 certification is relevant to various stakeholders, including electronics recyclers, original equipment manufacturers, and consumers seeking assurance of quality and sustainability in refurbished electronics. Overall, R2 sets the benchmark for responsible electronics management globally.
