Right to Repair Legislation Awaits Vote in Washington
More U.S. states are passing Right to Repair legislation, with all 50 states now exploring the concept. Washington recently became the latest state to close in on a repair bill. The Right to Repair movement continues to grow, spurred by increasing electronics and inflation, and more consumers are choosing to keep devices longer by repairing them rather than purchasing new ones.
Notable ITAD Services that Benefit Your Enterprise
Technology is a staple in the business world as a bridge of communication and collaboration, and IT asset disposition should be a primary concern for any company. From digital media to digital storage, much of daily life relies heavily upon IT equipment such as phones, laptops, desktops, tablets, and even data centers. Constant updates and upgrades are required to ensure IT assets continue to function properly, leaving many assets in need of disposition. ITAD enterprises like HOBI function as a one-stop shop for all end-of-use needs, including recycling, but ITAD providers also offer a range of services that benefit other companies.
ITAD Providers Help Increase Value of Off-Lease IT Assets
IT equipment is a necessity for smooth business operations. Rapidly evolving technology and the pressure of staying current often result in quick turnover rates, which can become costly. Electronics are more expensive than they have ever been, but working with obsolete IT hardware puts companies at a disadvantage and prevents access to real-time data. This has increased the pressure to keep up with software updates and hardware upgrades. Many businesses are now choosing to lease IT equipment rather than purchase it, and partnering with an ITAD provider can help maximize device value with off-lease device processing.
ITAD: Carbon Footprint Reduction via E-Recycling
With the rapid evolution of technology, environmental awareness is more important than ever. New electronics are deployed at staggering rates, leading to excess IT equipment as companies strive to stay up-to-date with the latest models. As the primary communication tool for business, IT assets are prevalent in every office, especially mobile assets. Still, an overflow of electronics lying around can result in poor asset management, data breaches, and environmental pollution. Partnering with an ITAD provider for e-recycling services will help enterprises significantly reduce their carbon footprint with responsible IT asset management and disposition.
