Environmental awareness is becoming increasingly important as technological advancements like AI become more prevalent, and developing an ITAD plan will help companies reduce their carbon impact, achieve ESG goals, and maximize ROI. IT asset disposition is often an afterthought, usually ignored until old assets become an issue.
