February 17, 2017, Markham – Lifespan is pleased to announce that in 2017 we have elected to augment our R2 certification by increasing the number of our NAID AAA certifications in support of our data destruction practice.  This augmentation is in addition to our ongoing commitment to our ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001 certifications.  This augmentation will extend our NAID AAA certification to our Markham and Vancouver operations in Canada in addition to our newest US facility in Buffalo NY.

Lifespan as part of an internal audit and review of our management systems has also decided to move forward with R2 as our sole electronics recycling certification. While Lifespan had held two competing recycling standards for some time we have decided to move forward with R2 based on client feedback and our desire to invest more in the data destruction certification elements of our business practices.  All of our sites and our partner relationships will be managed by our internal compliance department under the processes and systems in the certifications listed on our web site https://lifespantechnology.com/certifications/ .  Specific site registrations and audits will be dependent on primary activities conducted at each location.   For more information about our strategy, compliance and credentials related to the safe, responsible, secure management of technology within our ITAD practice contact us at info@lifespantechnology.com
