Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts including sustainable solutions to e-waste with device reuse, establishing ESG environmental goals with an ITAD provider, simplifying data center decommissioning with ITAD, and how AI may solve e-waste battery disposal issues.
Sustainable Solutions to E-Waste with Device Reuse
Companies are becoming more environmentally aware and implementing sustainability goals and policies to ensure they meet environmental standards. The waste industry has undergone significant changes and will face many more challenges in the years ahead, but device reuse is a key component of reducing e-waste. Partnering with an ITAD provider will help companies achieve environmental goals with sustainable solutions, reduce e-waste, and protect data even after asset retirement.
Establish ESG Environmental Goals with an ITAD Provider
Sustainability is in the fast lane and rising. Companies worldwide are implementing environmental policies, adjusting packaging methods, and reusing metals to reduce their carbon footprint. In the race to reach environmental goals, there is one method that will significantly boost an organization’s sustainability numbers, maximize ROI, and help reduce its carbon impact: ITAD. Technology is a primary requirement in business for communication, collaboration, processing, and more, resulting in offices with abundant IT equipment. When IT assets become outdated, break, or are retired, they often become an afterthought and end up in storage closets or tucked away in spare corners. However, responsible IT asset disposition with an ITAD provider like HOBI increases environmental contribution and helps reduce a company’s carbon footprint.
Simplify Data Center Decommissioning with ITAD
The start of a new year is a popular time for updating IT equipment, including data centers. Like any other piece of hardware, data centers need to be updated occasionally to continue working correctly. Decommissioning can be overwhelming because data centers are a central hub for storing significant amounts of sensitive enterprise and employee data. ITAD enterprises provide end-of-use services for retired IT assets, including data center solutions such as decommissioning, relocation and reassembly, data security, and reverse logistics. Data center decommissioning is tedious and requires skilled professionals. Partnering with an ITAD provider for data center solutions will ease the burden, protect data, and ensure that retired assets are disposed of responsibly.
AI May Solve E-Waste Battery Disposal Issues
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been a long-standing issue in the e-waste industry. Batteries are hazardous, but LIBs are exceptionally prone to causing chemical fires when damaged. LIBs have been the source of hundreds of facility, vehicle, and house fires due to battery damage, but Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be the key to a solution.
