Perhaps you can specify this in more detail.
The BSI Kitemark logo for recycled Computers/IT is a trademark and protected. The classic recycling logo with three green arrows in a circle, on the other hand, can be used freely.

The logo is not protected, so it can be used for this purpose. However, agencies, especially Shutterstock, may still only accept it as editorial.
