Aarkays Biz Solutions delivers specialised consultancy for the Responsible Recycling (R2) standard across Europe, helping electronics recyclers, ITAD providers, and IT asset disposition firms achieve and maintain R2v3 certification. The R2 standard, developed by Sustainable Electronics Recycling International (SERI), is the world's most widely adopted framework for the responsible recycling of electronic waste, with a strong focus on data security, environmental stewardship, worker safety, and downstream accountability.

​

One of the only SERI-listed R2 consultants in Europe

Aarkays Biz Solutions is home to Menaka Ramakrishnan, one of the only SERI-certified R2 consultants officially listed on the SERI website for Europe. This recognition is a direct mark of authority. It means our clients across the European Union and the United Kingdom benefit from the highest level of R2 expertise currently available on the continent, backed by SERI's own approval rather than by self-assertion. For electronics recyclers serious about winning international ITAD contracts, working with a SERI-listed consultant materially shortens the path to certification and reduces audit risk.

​

How we support European electronics recyclers

​

We guide organisations through every stage of the R2 lifecycle, from initial readiness assessment to full certification audit. Our services include R2v3 gap analysis against the latest SERI requirements, documentation and management system development, implementation support for downstream vendor due diligence, data sanitisation and EH&S controls, internal audits, training and corrective action management, and pre-certification mock audits to ensure a first-time pass.

​

Our R2 consultancy integrates seamlessly with the European regulatory landscape, including the WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) and its national implementations such as the Italian RAEE decree, the German ElektroG, and the French DEEE framework, along with GDPR requirements for data destruction and ISO standards (9001, 14001, 45001) that frequently sit alongside R2 in a unified management system. This dual focus, R2 combined with local regulatory alignment, gives our European clients a single audit-ready compliance posture across multiple frameworks.

​

Who we serve

 

We work with electronics recyclers, ITAD providers, refurbishers, data-destruction specialists, scrap-metal processors handling electronic-waste streams, and corporate sustainability teams across the EU and the UK. Whether you are pursuing first-time R2v3 certification, R2 recertification, or upgrading from R2:2013 to the current R2v3 standard, our consultants provide a clear, milestone-based path to certification, typically completed in four to six months.
