Practice Safe Storage for IT Assets During Severe Weather

The weather is changing, and protecting IT assets during severe temperatures is critical. As we head into colder months, it’s important to remember that electronics like laptops, headphones, smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, and even earbuds can be affected in cold and warmer temperatures. During colder weather, there are multiple ways electronics can be damaged if not properly stored or protected, including condensation, battery damage, and freezing. In this blog post, we’ve highlighted tips for keeping electronics warm in freezing weather and what to do with frozen electronics. 

Enhance Circularity with Repurposed Tech & Asset Disposition

Sustainability is a hot topic in the business world, and companies across the globe are implementing environmental policies and practices to reduce their carbon footprint. Environmental awareness continues to grow in popularity, and circularity is the key to reducing waste. E-waste, in particular, is a global issue and will continue to escalate as technology advances, increasing the need for responsible waste management. One way to support circularity is by repurposing IT assets and having a sound disposition plan. ITAD providers are more important than ever as the digital era creates more hazardous waste, and partnering with an ITAD professional provides services that maximize the value of retired IT assets and protect the environment throughout disposition. 

ITAD Optimization Planning with a Certified Provider

An ITAD disposition plan is crucial in a digital world. An abundance of technology has made the ITAD industry more important than ever as a means of responsible e-waste disposition. Often, disposition is delayed due to budget funds, lack of preparation time, or lack of knowledge, but disposing of retired IT assets doesn’t have to be a headache. Partnering with an ITAD provider will help ease the burden of asset disposal, save time and money, help protect the environment, and maximize the value of retired IT assets. 

Utilize ITAD to Overcome the Pitfalls of a Digital Era 

The rapid evolution of technology has thrust the world into a digital age. Business, communication, and shopping can all be done online, and 90 percent of the world owns a smartphone. Many businesses are fully remote and students attend classes online, but an influx of technology has also created several challenges. Reliance on technology has created a growing need for more stringent data security protocols, a digital divide between those with and without access to electronics, and a dangerous accumulation of e-waste. ITAD enterprises help overcome these obstacles with end-of-use services such as data erasure, repair, remarketing, and donation programs, and e-waste recycling.
