Electronic waste plays a significant role in the amount of global hazardous waste the world generates annually, and proper IT asset management will help reduce the amount of e-waste sent to landfills, help a business reduce their carbon footprint, and achieve environmental ESG goals.Â
As a change in industry standards, value-added IT asset disposition services encompass several facets of the business. vITAD, a term pioneered by HOBI to describe this change, is an expansion of traditional ITAD service offerings and now includes services like remote managing and ESG reporting. One service revolves around non-traditional assets such as data centers, and partnering with a vITAD provider ensures all of your data center needs are taken care of by a single vendor.Â
IT asset disposition is essential to maintaining a smooth, efficient operating system. abundance of IT assets creates space and storage issues, increased turnaround times, and slower processing rates.

IT asset disposition facilities like HOBI are crucial in global e-waste reduction, and partnering with an ITAD vendor helps prevent e-waste from entering the waste stream through electronic recycling.Â
Data security should be a top priority for any enterprise, especially in this digital age, and responsible IT asset disposition will help prevent data theft even after asset retirement.Â
To reduce the amount of chemicals released into the environment, we first need to reduce the amount of e-waste we generate.Â
