Recycler Qualification Office
The Recycler Qualification Office (RQO) was established in cooperation with EPSC and the industry-led provincial end-of-life electronics (EOLE) programs to manage all recycler assessments and approvals on behalf of the programs.
This national office was designed to provide a streamlined application and approval process for perspective primary recyclers, while undertaking recycler assessments in a timely manner, with detailed, thorough, and objective results.
RECYCLER QUALIFICATION OFFICE
The Recycler Qualification Office (RQO) has been established by the industry-led end-of-life electronics stewardship programs to ensure that environmentally sound electronics reuse and recycling standards are established, met, maintained and continually improved upon.
The RQO manages all recycler assessments and approvals on behalf of the provincial stewardship programs, to ensure assessments are undertaken in a timely manner, and results are objective, thorough, and sufficiently detailed to provide confidence in the results of the assessment.
The RQO administers two broad qualification programs:
Recycler Qualification Program (RQP):
An eight-part publication that defines the Stewardship Programs' minimum requirements and approach to auditing and approving end-of-life electronics (EOLE) Recyclers to ensure that EOLE are handled in an environmentally sound and socially acceptable manner that protects the environment and safeguards worker health and safety.
Electronics Reuse & Refurbishing Program (ERRP):
A six-part publication that defines the minimum requirements for organziatons performing reuse and/or refurbishing functions and seeking to be recognized by the Stewardship Program.
