Today is Earth Day, the time of year to celebrate keeping the planet clean and healthy. This year’s theme is Our Power, Our Planet, calling for everyone to unite around renewable energy in efforts to triple clean electricity by 2030. IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers focus on environmentally responsible electronic waste disposal solutions, while also taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint, like using energy-efficient lightbulbs. Partnering with an ITAD provider ensures companies are responsibly disposing of retired IT assets and helps reduce their carbon footprint by partnering with environmentally conscious vendors. 

Easter is approaching, and many will have plastic Easter eggs leftover from holiday festivities. Because most recycling facilities do not accept Easter eggs, consumers may wonder what to do with the leftover eggs. Recycling may not be an option. However, several creative ways exist to upcycle plastic Easter eggs rather than just throwing them away. Repurposing old or leftover Easter eggs helps prevent them from ending up in waste streams, where they cannot be broken down, helping to protect the environment by eliminating potential waste. 

As April 22 approaches, many companies participate in special collection events and implement sustainability initiatives in preparation for Earth Day. Sustainability awareness is growing, and as environmental practices are thrust into the spotlight, some companies are accused of falsely portraying environmental policies or “greenwashing.” One way to establish credible environmental support is with responsible IT asset disposition. E-waste makes up 70 percent of the world’s toxic waste, and partnering with an ITAD provider will help reduce e-waste and protect enterprise data after asset retirement.
