This update improved the quality of the certification and provided additional best practices. In 2013, R2 was updated by the R2 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). This program was intended to promote best practices while providing potential customers with important information.

The EPA began tackling the electronic waste crisis in 2008 by developing the “Responsible Recycling Practices for Use in Accredited Certifications Programs,” or R2. But what does that even mean? What is a R2 Certification? The other 70% are recycled using only vendors with R2 and e-Stewards certifications. Now what happens to them? Fortunately, we can re-use and re-sell 30% of the electronics we receive. Sometimes people wonder if you can see the match while you're working, and a few times you might get the chance for a moment, but ultimately, you are there to support the running of the event.You’ve responsibly recycled your electronics with GreenCitizen. 'I hope we keep this energy within the team and that we can help create beautiful events this summer, and add new fun coworkers to our team. 'I definitely want to become head steward one day, ideally on the sector I work at now.' He also has another hope for the future. He even hopes to grow to a higher function. And the job being in the most beautiful stadium and at a club that I'm a fan of, those are all pros.'Īfter three good years at the Johan Cruijff ArenA, Jeffrey is not at all planning on stopping with the job. In all the work that I've done, the connecting with people, helping them, giving great service and an amazing experience, that's what I've enjoyed the most. Jeffrey names the variety between football, concerts and business events as one of the pros of having a parttime job of being a steward. 'We addressed the person and got extra colleague to further take care of the situation.' This last situation happened during the match of Ajax against Union Berlin. We're extra alert when this happens, because there have been people without tickets to the match who try to come in with 'wrong accreditation'. We need to pay extra attention that everyone has the right accreditation, because the UEFA also sends out her own match accreditation for invited guests. 'At a European match we've got different accreditations for the press, the visiting team, the supervisors, and more. Those talks are really fun.'ĭuring European matches, there's something more than just tension that comes looking around the corner. My coworkers at my office job will talk about the match. You notice that in the stadium and in the moments leading up to it. 'The European match has a bit more pressure, the atmosphere is more intense. During a European match, such as Ajax against Union Berlin, Jeffrey notices that the atmosphere is different in the stadium than during an Eredvisie match.

The stewards of the ArenA help in creating memorable and safe experiences at all home matches of Ajax and the Dutch national team. Ten minutes before rest we go back to the halls to make sure the right people enter again.' How the supporters react, how the match is going, and more. When all the guests have entered the stadium, Jeffrey and his team keep control on how the rest of the day goes. After this, everyone gets in position and the ticket check at the mainentrance will start as well as several receptions in halls in sector E. Jeffrey gives a briefing to all the stewards and hosts with his team. For Jeffrey, a day at the ArenA always starts at a different time, depending on when the match or the event starts.
