C.R.S. § 25-17-304: State electronic device recycling - rules.

The agency shall use only a recycler that is certified to a national environmental certification standard such as the R2 or e-steward standards or other comparable recycling or disposal standard; except that this certification requirement does not apply to processing for reuse conducted on behalf of state agencies as stipulated in section 17-24-106.6, C.R.S., by the division of correctional industries created in section 17-24-104, C.R.S. The commission may adopt rules to avoid the use of certifications that are not comparable.
