Which UNICOR location is most convenient to you?

A Principled Approach

UNICOR follows a strict Electronics Recycling Statement of Principles:

• Ensuring a safe, secure work and training environment for inmates and staff
• Observing all applicable environmental, health, and safety regulations at all levels
• Ensuring factory processes and practices prevent pollution and protect worker safety
• Ensuring all focus materials are managed properly on site
• Conducting due diligence of downstream vendors’ handling of focus materials
• Fostering continual improvement in all aspects of factory operations
• Third-party certifications from qualified, independent experts (incl. RIOS and R3v3)
• Processing incoming material on a hierarchy of responsible management strategies:
  • Reuse – unless a customer directs otherwise
  • Materials Recovery – for equipment and components not directed to reuse
  • Energy recovery – for secure destruction of some forms of data storage media
  • Landfill disposal for some non-electronic waste when reuse or recovery markets are unavailable
• Ensuring that data security practices fully meet customers’ R2v3 requirements
• Continual policy review – minimum of once per operating year
