Standards Of Certification

R2 (Responsible Recycling)

Why it matters: Meeting ESG goals and internal sustainability policies while avoiding downstream risk.

NIST 800-88 (Data Sanitization)

What it means: Three outcomes. Clear, Purge (software/cryptographic wipe), Destroy (physical). We support Purge (device reusable) and Destroy (on-site or off-site shredding) .

Why it matters: Maps to security policies for media sanitization and determines whether you can safely resell or must shred.

ISO 14001/9001 (Environmental & Process Quality Certification)

What it means: Formal systems for environmental impact and quality management.

ISO 14001 is a standard for organizations that proactively employ environmental management systems (EMS) and follow a framework for resource usage, waste management and legal requirements. ISO 9001 provides the standard for consistent quality, superior customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement of processes and systems.

Why it matters: Predictable process, better documentation, quality support and fewer exceptions.

ISO 45001 Certification (Health & Occupational Safety)

What it means: Formal benchmark for occupational health and safety management systems.

Why it matters: It has been designed for organizations that commit to the health and safety of its customers and employees through policy making, planning, implementing standardized processes, auditing and review.
