Reducing negative carbon impact helps companies strengthen environmental credibility, and a key component to achieving this is responsible IT asset disposition. Technology is at the forefront of every successful business. Still, it is also taking a toll on the environment, prompting many companies to implement strategies that help reduce their carbon footprint. ITAD providers offer end-of-life services, helping organizations dispose of their retired IT assets in an environmentally sound manner.
Carbon Reduction with an ITAD Vendor
Negative environmental impact is difficult to avoid in a digital era, but steps can be taken to significantly reduce a company’s carbon impact, including IT asset disposition. ITAD providers offer a range of services designed to mitigate environmental liability during asset disposition and eliminate e-waste through reuse and recycling. By focusing on environmentally sound e-waste disposal and materials recovery, ITAD enterprises support a circular economy, preserve resources, and save time and energy by reducing demand for new materials. Using a single ITAD vendor for all disposition needs also reduces the carbon footprint that would be produced by using multiple vendors and transporting assets to various locations.
ITAD Service Offerings with HOBI
HOBI International, Inc. is an R2v3, RIOS, and ISO 14001 certified IT asset management and disposition enterprise with more than 30 years of experience in the waste industry. We focus on maximizing economic returns and mitigating environmental liabilities when disposing of retired IT assets and prioritizing client satisfaction.
Secure Data Destruction – A common misconception is that a simple reset will also clear data from used devices; however, data remains on IT assets until they are properly sanitized. ITAD providers offer data erasure to solve potential data leaks during disposition. HOBI uses an internally developed data erasure software, the HOBI Shield, that completely erases data from a device. Any devices that cannot be erased are destroyed via shredding technology to prevent further data leaks.
Asset Repair & Remarketing – Some retired IT assets may still have life left in them, and repair and refurbishment services help restore used assets to their original cosmetic state, enabling their redeployment as assets. Remarketing used assets enables businesses to increase asset value, clear storage space, and save budget funds. Redeployment also improves control of asset storage and increases warehouse space.
Environmentally-Sound Disposition – There are several disposal methods for e-waste, including landfills and incineration. However, partnering with an ITAD provider like HOBI helps mitigate environmental pollution via electronics recycling. Proper IT asset disposition with an ITAD provider ensures that no harm comes to the environment, helps reduce e-waste by keeping devices in circulation, and minimizes carbon impact.
