‘Tis the season to declutter. IT assets are typically upgraded and accumulate throughout the year, leading to cluttered storage space and an excess of phones, laptops, tablets, etc. The end of the year is the perfect time to make a disposition plan for retired IT assets to ensure they are properly disposed of, and partnering with an ITAD provider is the first step. IT asset disposition enterprises offer services for end-of-use IT assets that cover data security, mobile asset management, and reverse logistics. Responsible asset disposition will help mitigate environmental pollution and help clients achieve ESG goals.
Reduce Pollution & Achieve ESG with ITAD
Improper asset disposition is one of the primary reasons e-waste increases yearly, making up 70 percent of the world’s toxic waste. The convenience of landfills often makes them a popular disposition method, but they will lead to contamination over time. Metals in electronics contain chemicals that leak into the soil and pollute the groundwater over time, eventually contaminating the surrounding water supply, including the drinking water of surrounding residents. Partnering with an ITAD provider for e-waste recycling reduces environmental pollution and helps contribute to a circular economy.
As the business world becomes more environmentally aware, many seek ways to reduce their carbon footprint. Finding an ITAD provider is crucial to environmental protection in a technology-driven economy and can help achieve ESG goals. As a value-added ITAD service, ESG reporting provides transparency and accountability and can be achieved by partnering with an ITAD provider for data security, repair services, and e-recycling.
Environmental Protection & Value Maximization
Partnering with an ITAD provider is more than just IT asset disposition. ITAD enterprises cover a range of end-of-use services for retired IT assets and focus on maximizing asset value while mitigating environmental liability.
- Proper IT asset disposition is a cornerstone of data security. Data remains on assets until properly wiped, and ITAD providers offer data erasure services to ensure no data breaches occur even after assets are retired.
- Mobile lifecycle management services help maximize the value of retired assets with repair and refurbishment services and remarketing opportunities for used devices. Remarketing IT assets helps provide used devices to those without access, which enables companies to achieve social ESG goals by providing a service to their community. Device reuse also contributes to a circular economy by preventing them from entering the waste stream.
- Transporting IT assets can be stressful, but ITAD providers take care of all transportation needs with customized reverse logistics services. Partnering with an ITAD provider helps protect the environment and reduces costs by eliminating the need for multiple vendors.
