>> A distinct advantage over unaccredited competitors, who [often] cannot even participate.
>> A demonstrated, proactive, management of risks; onsite, offsite, and through the downstream recycling chain.
>> Establishing preferred supplier status with government organizations and prime contractors.
>> Alleviatingstakeholder health and safety concerns.
>> The improvement environmental awareness and legal compliance.
>> The collection of electronics from government agencies at all levels; which require R2:2013.
>> Creation new opportunities by meeting certification or accreditation conditions found in e-scrap contract requirements.
