Prevent Electrical Damage to IT Assets
Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts including governance in ESG criteria, how a lithium-ion battery sparked a garbage truck fire, maximizing IT asset value with an ITAD provider and off-lease device processing.
As a new industry standard in the business world, ESG reporting encompasses a range of policies on how a company reacts to environmental, social, and governance issues. ESG reporting is becoming more common for businesses to provide more transparency and accountability regarding the environment as well as their stakeholders. Environmental and social criteria cover how a company performs in regard to environmental awareness and a company’s relationship with its employees.
Lithium-Ion Battery Causes Garbage Truck Fire
Battery fires have become a common occurrence over the years and are becoming more frequent. Due to its rechargeable nature, lithium is a popular metal used in the majority of electronics today. However, as convenient as lithium is, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are hazardous when damaged. A recent fire has trash pickup service, Rumpke, asking Ohio residents to dispose of their electronics containing LIBs properly.
Maximize IT Asset Value with an ITAD Provider
When IT equipment is retired, it can end up taking up storage space or cluttering hallways and become a much larger problem than it needs to be. Most IT equipment contains lithium-ion batteries which could cause a landfill fire, eliminating municipal waste as a disposition method. Incineration leads to a lawsuit if surrounding residents raise enough concern, so where do retired IT assets go when they are no longer needed?
Partner with an ITAD Provider for Off-Lease Device Processing
The pandemic bred a new standard of working in the business world, and many companies still choose to work from home. The digital era continues to evolve, raising the price of electronics to an all-time high and increasing device turnaround rates. This has also increased the pressure to keep up with software updates and hardware upgrades. As a result, IT assets are becoming more expensive, and many businesses lease IT equipment rather than purchase it.
