All Processors operating under our program must meet the nationally approved ERS 2015 Standard that utilizes R2 as a base. Each processor is subject to multiple document and on-site audits annually to ensure compliance to this Producer created standard. The Recycler Qualification Office is responsible for auditing processors nationally to these standards. Each processor is required to provide documentation verify how and to-where each kg of processed materials is shipped down to its final point of disposition. These documents are then routinely audited to ensure compliance.
