Right to Repair Safety Regs Considered by Industry Experts
The idea of consumers repairing their own devices has grown into a nationwide movement advocating that users have the right to repair their devices rather than going to an OEM. The Right to Repair movement grows in the tech industry as more companies announce their support. However, potential dangers remain an issue, including safe battery removal and potential battery fires. Industry experts have recently voiced positive feedback concerning self-repair but also mentioned the need for safety regulations.
Comprehensive ITAD Services: Secure & Sustainable Solutions
Navigating the ITAD process is challenging. There are several things to consider when retiring IT assets, such as data protection, asset transport, and deciding what to do with the equipment that still works, so IT asset disposition is often put on the back burner. Tracking down multiple resources to ensure your data is protected, assets are transported safely, and assets in working order are repaired can become a headache and costly. ITAD enterprises like HOBI offer a range of end-of-use services for retired IT assets, including data security and erasure, customized reversed logistics, repair and remarketing opportunities, and e-waste recycling. Partnering with an all-inclusive ITAD provider eliminates the hassle of working with multiple vendors, saves budget funds, and ensures all IT assets are disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
Social ESG Goals with Repair and Remarketing ITAD Services
As part of the shifting industry landscape, IT asset disposition businesses are expanding their service offerings and implementing new industry standards, including ESG reporting. ESG criteria focus on three areas regarding how well a company performs relative to environmental, social, and governance issues. ESG social criteria refer to a company’s relationship with its employees, clients, and community and how it manages employee health and safety. Proper IT asset management and disposition enables enterprises to meet Social ESG goals in several ways. Value-added service offerings provide opportunities for clients, such as value maximization through repair and remarketing, donation programs, and more.

As the core repository for all enterprise and employee data, responsible IT asset management and disposition are crucial for data center operations. While data centers are a vital component of any organization, they inevitably require upgrades and equipment replacement. Decommissioning can be a complex challenge without professional assistance.
ITAD providers offer various services, including data center solutions such as decommissioning, asset management and remarketing, relocation, data destruction and security, and environmental management. Partnering with an ITAD provider helps maximize the value of retired IT assets and ensures no environmental damage occurs in the disposition process.
