Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts, including sustainable e-waste solutions with asset reuse, keeping retired IT assets in circulation with an ITAD partner, incorporating asset management into your IT infrastructure, and how the road to sustainability starts with ITAD.
Sustainable E-Waste Solutions with Asset Reuse
Sustainability is driving the business world, but the primary setback is the significant amount of global electronic waste that continues to accumulate alongside rapid technological advances. Annual releases of new device models increase asset retirement rates as companies fight to keep their IT equipment current. Proper IT asset disposition (ITAD) is collectively the responsible disposition of retired IT assets and a way to ensure a company is adhering to environmental industry standards. E-waste is now a global crisis, but ITAD enterprises offer sustainable e-waste solutions that maximize the value of used assets by keeping them in circulation.
Keep Retired IT Assets in Circulation with an ITAD Partner
The circulation of IT assets has significantly increased in the last decade as mobile electronics continue to drive device sales. In the dawn of a digital age, mobility transformed society’s relationship with technology, leading to an era of digital dependency. Mobile assets are used in almost every aspect of daily life and are heavily relied upon in the business industry. Social media apps have bred a new era of digital marketing, making smartphones the most commonly used device in the world. However, the mass demand for mobile devices has also led to a surge in e-waste, creating a global waste crisis that only proper disposition and circularity can solve. ITAD enterprises help keep retired IT assets in circulation with services such as data erasure, repair and refurbishment, and asset redeployment.
Incorporate Asset Management Into Your IT Infrastructure
The foundation of smooth-running business operations hinges on a reliable IT infrastructure. The business world relies heavily upon technology for communication and collaboration, and without a reliable IT framework, businesses can quickly unravel. Asset management is an integral part of a strong IT infrastructure, and an ITAD partner provides a range of end-of-use services, including asset management and environmentally sound IT asset disposition that improve risk management and optimize storage space.
The Road to Sustainability Starts with ITAD
As the world becomes more digitally connected, sustainable practices are becoming increasingly important to implement. Technological advancements create a rapid turnaround for IT assets, leading to an abundance of equipment that can pile up in offices and storage space. Partnering with an IT asset disposition (ITAD) professional provides sustainable solutions to e-waste, including repair and refurbishment services for asset remarketing, and electronics recycling for environmentally-sound disposition.
