Why Documentation Matters

- Environmental responsibility: Vetted downstream processing provides a traceable route for accepted materials

Third-party certification status: EverTrade is not R2 certified and has not enrolled in the R2 certification process. We use R2-aligned practices where applicable and route material through R2-certified downstream partners. Customers whose procurement rules require R2, e-Stewards, NAID AAA, ISO, or another named certification should confirm fit before booking.
