Periodically questions and misconceptions arise about whether certain requirements of the R2 Standard are applicable to a recycler’s business model. Page one of the R2:2013 Standard states,
“All the provisions of this R2:2013 Standard shall be conformed to by R2:2013 electronics recyclers. Whether conformed to directly, or through a contracted third party, the burden of proof resides with the R2:2013 electronics recycler to demonstrate conformity to each requirement.”
