Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts, including how to increase asset value and transparency with vITAD services, how data security concerns drive unnecessary device disposal, accomplishing circularity in a digital age with ITAD, and how to make this Father’s Day eco-friendly.
Increase Asset Value & Transparency with vITAD Services
The IT asset disposition (ITAD) industry is constantly changing and evolving as the world becomes more conscious of the need for global e-waste reduction. Companies are implementing sustainability strategies and adopting new industry concepts to boost environmental credit. A key factor in true e-waste reduction lies in proper IT asset management and disposition. ITAD providers partner with organizations for responsible IT asset disposition, and as the industry continues to evolve, so too do ITAD services. As pioneers of the value-added ITAD concept, HOBI offers additional vITAD services that maximize the value of retired IT assets and enhance communication and transparency.

One of the primary reasons for data loss is device theft. Mobile devices, such as phones and tablets, are becoming increasingly small and are also easier to swipe or misplace. In 2023, approximately 1.4 million mobile phones were reported stolen across the United States. As a bigger issue than ransomware or even stolen credentials, device theft happens every day and may be the new cause of unnecessary device disposal.
Accomplishing Circularity in a Digital Age with ITAD
Rapid technological advancements during the last decade have thrust the world into a digitally driven era that continues to evolve at an increasing rate. Although technology is beneficial in many ways, rapid technological deployment has also created a global e-waste crisis that can only be solved via circularity with an ITAD provider.
