UR, Sate.Secure. Certified.
CERTIFICATIONS & MEMBERSHIPS
in 2011, URT's became the 11th recycling company in the nation certified to the e-Stewards® Standard for Responsible
Recycling and Reuse of Electronic Equipment.
Representing our years of concerted effort to recycle ethically and operate responsibly, URT upholds the standards and
qualifications of our industry's most rigorous certifying agencies.
ISO 14001:2004 & ISO 9001:2008
The 1S0 14001:2004 standard recognizes the consistent application and success of a company’s environmental health and
safety management system. URT is ISO 14001:2004 compliant as it is encompassed within the e-stewards certification.
URT's [SO 9001:2008 standard certification takes this a step further, certifying the overall company quality management
system. It demonstrates the company's commitment and ability to deliver superior quality and customer satisfaction. Both
standards were developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization.
MICROSOFT® REGISTERED REFURBISHER
URT is a Microsoft® Registered Refurbisher, which allows the company to install Microsoft® operating systems and
software, opening up tremendous revenue opportunities for recycled computer equipment.
E-STEWARDS® CERTIFICATION
Every URT’s processing facility is e-Stewards® certified, providing unparalleled security and brand protection. The
e-Stewards® Certification program, created by the Basel Action Network (BAN-www.e-stewards.org), formally recognizes
electronics recyclers that adhere to the highest environmentally and socially responsible practices when recovering
materials from electronic scrap. It is the only electronics recycling standard that bans all exports of hazardous e-waste
to developing countries, and prohibits the use of prison labor and dumping in local landfills. The accredited third-party
audited certification pragram is supported by the U.S. EPA and is endorsed by Greenpeace USA, the Sierra Club, the
Natural Resources Defense Council (VRDC), the Electronics Take Back Coalition and 68 other environmental!
organizations. It has drawn the public support of major corporate “e-Stewards® Enterprises” including Samsung, Alcoa,
Bank of America, Capital One Financial Corp. and Wells Fargo.
URT was also recognized by BAN for its ongoing efforts to safely process and clean leaded CRT glass, a hazard that
requires extra care and has historically been difficult to cleanly recycle. URT's glass recycling safely removes the coatings
allowing it to be recycled and reused for various other uses. This sustainable method prevents the lead from leeching into
the environment and causing harm.
“URT has demonstrated a commitment to the highest levels of responsible recycling. As one of the few recyclers
nationwide who can safely process leaded TV and monitor glass, the company not only benefits its direct customers but
also is a great resource to other recyclers,” said BAN Executive Director Jim Puckett.
