KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Jan. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Earth, a division of Harsco Corporation and a leading provider in environmental and regulated waste management services, announces its Lancaster, Texas, facility earned the RIOS™ and R2v3 certifications, marking the Company’s fifth certified electronic recycling facility along with sites in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Modesto, California, West Melbourne, Florida, and Richmond, Virginia. The certifications are the result of extensive third-party audits ensuring that the facility and employees are capable of handling and managing e-waste.
Clean Earth’s Lancaster facility is the first Clean Earth facility to earn the R2v3 certification and one of the first among its competitors. More stringent than previous versions, R2v3 is the most recent version of the R2 standard.
