ISO 14001 provides electronic waste recycling companies with a comprehensive Environmental Management System (EMS), ensuring that they not only meet but exceed environmental compliance requirements while systematically optimizing their environmental performance. This standard helps recycling companies accurately identify environmental impact factors and implement control measures to address potential sources of pollution and resource consumption within the recycling, processing, and disposal processes, significantly reducing their ecological footprint. Through the continuous improvement mechanism of ISO 14001, companies can integrate environmental management into core business operations to achieve resource optimization and waste minimization, effectively supporting the principles of the circular economy. This not only enhances the company’s ability to comply with environmental regulations and manage risks but also strengthens its industry leadership and brand reputation, laying a solid foundation for sustainable development.

ISO 45001 is closely related to electronic waste recycling because it provides a health and safety management system that helps recycling companies identify and control workplace risks, especially when handling hazardous materials and heavy equipment. This standard ensures that companies comply with health and safety regulations, foster a culture of safety, and continuously improve safety measures to protect employees and reduce the risk of accidents. By obtaining ISO 45001 certification, recycling companies can effectively safeguard employee safety and enhance their reputation.
