Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts including ITAD services that benefit your business, reducing e-waste with ITAD and recycling to support a circular economy, sustainability strategies and ESG with IT asset disposition, and cybersecurity problems and solutions to boost data protection.
ITAD Necessities: Services That Benefit Your Business
IT asset disposition has become increasingly important during the past decade to help reduce the significant amount of e-waste the world generates. Asset disposition is often an afterthought or put on the back burner due to the money, time, and effort it can take. However, partnering with an ITAD provider eliminates the hassle of finding multiple vendors. Asset disposition is more than just getting rid of retired IT equipment. ITAD enterprises are multifaceted service providers that offer a range of end-of-use services, from data security to reverse logistics. HOBI provides explicitly value-added services in addition to core services that help companies achieve ESG goals while maximizing the value of retired IT assets.
Circular Economy: Reduce E-Waste with ITAD and Recycling
Waste is unavoidable–or so it seems. It is easy to believe that creating waste is inevitable. While that may be true in a linear economy, a circular economy focuses on eliminating waste altogether via reducing, reusing, and recycling. The primary goal of responsible IT asset disposition is to reduce the amount of e-waste the world generates, which can be more complicated than regular waste. Electronic waste is classified as hazardous because of the toxic chemicals it produces, which is why responsible disposal of IT assets is critical. This digital era has created an excess amount of e-waste that grows each year, resulting in a global e-waste crisis. However, e-waste can also be eliminated with a circular economy by reducing the amount of e-waste that is produced, reusing old electronics, and recycling what cannot be recovered. The first step in e-waste reduction is partnering with an ITAD provider to dispose of e-waste properly.
Sustainability Strategies & ESG with IT Asset Disposition
Sustainability is sweeping the business world, prompting many companies to implement sustainable practices. As a new industry requirement, ESG reporting is a popular method of meeting sustainability goals by developing environmental, social, and governance policies. ESG is achieved in many ways, including IT asset disposition. Partnering with an ITAD provider will help companies achieve ESG goals and sustainability via environmentally sound IT asset disposition.
Cybersecurity Problems & Solutions to Boost Data Protection
Data security is paramount in maintaining smooth business operations. Clients need to know their data is protected, and hackers are becoming increasingly difficult to catch. Digital data storage eliminates the need for a messy filing system but makes enterprise and employee data vulnerable to online crime. Cyberattacks are becoming more prevalent as the world becomes increasingly digital, and it’s critical for companies to safeguard data at all times.
