Compliance You Can Count On: Turning Standards into Trust
In this episode from Inside the Vertical Advantage — a special SPARK podcast series — Jeff Good, Compliance Partner, and Angela Remus, OEM Compliance Specialist, share how Dynamic makes compliance more than a requirement. From certifications and audit readiness to extended producer responsibility (EPR), they explore how transparency and vertical integration simplify complexity and build confidence at every step.
Beyond Red Tape: Compliance as Confidence
When many people hear the word compliance, they think of checklists, paperwork, or red tape. But at Dynamic, it’s much more than that — it’s a promise of trust, transparency, and accountability.
“Every certification we have and every audit we go through is about showing our partners that what we say we do, we’re actually doing,” explains Jeff Good. “It’s not just about meeting requirements — it’s about giving customers confidence that their material is handled responsibly from start to finish.”
Angela Remus agrees that compliance isn’t a box to check — it’s a foundation for reputation and business integrity. “Noncompliance can carry steep consequences,” she says. “But beyond fines or penalties, it’s about protecting your right to operate and your brand’s credibility. In today’s market, customers and consumers expect sustainability — and they hold companies accountable for it.”
By focusing on transparency and responsibility, Dynamic turns compliance into confidence — for customers, partners, and the communities it serves.
Built-In Assurance: Certifications and Audit Readiness
Compliance at Dynamic is more than policy — it’s practice. The company maintains seven industry-leading certifications covering every stage of the process, from IT asset disposition to electronics recycling.
“These certifications show our customers that compliance and quality are built into everything we do,” Jeff says. “They’re proof that we meet the highest standards every day — not just when audit season comes around.”
That proof is reinforced by a culture of readiness. With over 30 audits a year, Dynamic operates as if every day could be audit day — and that’s by design. “When you’re always audit-ready, it’s just how you operate,” Jeff adds. “And that makes things a lot easier for our partners, because they know we’re ready when they need us.”
The result? Partners can approach their own audits with less stress, complete documentation, and full visibility from start to finish.
Every certification and audit is about proving what we do — not just saying it.
EPR Simplified: One Partner, Zero Gaps
For manufacturers and OEMs, compliance often extends beyond recycling standards into extended producer responsibility (EPR) — a complex web of state-by-state requirements. That’s where Dynamic’s vertically integrated model makes all the difference.
“The risk of using multiple vendors is that it creates gaps,” says Angela. “You end up juggling different partners for recycling, reporting, and registration — and that leads to duplication and inconsistency.”
With Dynamic, all of those moving parts connect under one roof. The same partner manages collection, demanufacturing, downstream processing, and reporting — ensuring consistency across every state and every product line.
“This approach reduces complexity and ensures nothing falls through the cracks,” Angela explains. “It’s one process, one chain of custody, and one point of accountability.”
Compliance as a Competitive Advantage
While many organizations view compliance as a cost of doing business, Jeff and Angela see it as a strategic advantage.
“A strong compliance management system earns customer confidence,” Jeff notes. “It’s a reflection of how a company operates — and customers notice when you make it simple and transparent.”
Angela adds that this approach directly supports a company’s ESG goals. “When compliance is done right, it protects against risk, strengthens brand trust, and creates operational efficiencies,” she says. “You’re not just avoiding penalties — you’re proving leadership in environmental stewardship.”
That commitment also creates tangible value. With fewer vendors to manage, less duplication, and greater consistency, OEMs save time, reduce overhead, and gain data they can stand behind.
Doing the Right Thing — and Proving It
At Dynamic, compliance is more than a requirement — it’s a reflection of who the company is.
“When compliance is treated as a competitive advantage,” Angela says, “you don’t just stay out of trouble. You build trust, create efficiency, and uncover new value. At the end of the day, if it’s done right, it’s more than a checkbox — it’s a strategic lever for growth and resilience.”
That’s why Dynamic’s vertically integrated approach matters so much. Fewer handoffs mean fewer risks, simpler audits, and total visibility from start to finish. Because when compliance is built on transparency and trust, everyone moves forward with confidence.
