Nave Communications Receives Responsible Recycling (R2) Certification
 
Jessup, Maryland, June 22, 2015 – Nave Communications, a subsidiary of ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:  AEY), announced today that it has received Responsible Recycling (R2) certification, the highest industry standard for environmental responsibility and safety.  Nave Communications’ recycling program was recommended for this certification after successful completion of a rigorous third-party audit of its operational environmental performance.
 
“The implementation of R2 at Nave Communications has been a significant step in our continuous improvement of our processes at our facility,” said Doug Nave, President of Nave Communications.  “In addition to our other certifications of TL9000, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001, our customers can be assured that we will responsibly manage their materials all the way to final disposition.”
 
R2 certification promotes the safe and effective recovery and reuse of electronic equipment and materials, minimizes environmental and public health risks, guards downstream control of the recycling chain, and demonstrates compliance with domestic and international laws.  R2 is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency-recognized (“EPA”) accreditation standard that helps to ensure electronics recyclers remain accountable for their processes while also helping to protect supply chain employees, and others, who are exposed to e-waste.  The R2 audit involves a seven-step process that evaluates over 50 areas of operational performance.
