RIOS (The Recycling Industry Operating Standards)
The RIOS certification, synonymous with the Recycling Industry Operating Standards, is a comprehensive management system designed exclusively for recyclers. This certification comprises Quality, Environmental, Health, and Safety (QEHS) aspects, emphasizing a risk-based approach to address all risks and impacts within a recycling facility. RIOS certification reflects an organization's commitment to responsible and sustainable recycling practices.
In addition to meeting the standards of ISO 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Management and ISO 14001 Environmental Management, obtaining RIOS certification provides a holistic framework. The process integrates seamlessly, offering a unique set of criteria that enhances recycling operations.
