With Mother’s Day quickly approaching, this is the time to prioritize the environment while considering gifts. Sustainability is achieved one step at a time, and choosing an environmentally-friendly Mother’s Day gift helps protect the ecosystem while celebrating mothers worldwide on this special day. Below are some eco-friendly gift ideas to help keep this Mother’s Day green.
Today is Earth Day, the time of year to celebrate keeping the planet clean and healthy. This year’s theme is Our Power, Our Planet, calling for everyone to unite around renewable energy in efforts to triple clean electricity by 2030. IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers focus on environmentally responsible electronic waste disposal solutions, while also taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint, like using energy-efficient lightbulbs. Partnering with an ITAD provider ensures companies are responsibly disposing of retired IT assets and helps reduce their carbon footprint by partnering with environmentally conscious vendors.
Easter is approaching, and many will have plastic Easter eggs leftover from holiday festivities. Because most recycling facilities do not accept Easter eggs, consumers may wonder what to do with the leftover eggs. Recycling may not be an option. However, several creative ways exist to upcycle plastic Easter eggs rather than just throwing them away. Repurposing old or leftover Easter eggs helps prevent them from ending up in waste streams, where they cannot be broken down, helping to protect the environment by eliminating potential waste.
As April 22 approaches, many companies participate in special collection events and implement sustainability initiatives in preparation for Earth Day. Sustainability awareness is growing, and as environmental practices are thrust into the spotlight, some companies are accused of falsely portraying environmental policies or “greenwashing.” One way to establish credible environmental support is with responsible IT asset disposition. E-waste makes up 70 percent of the world’s toxic waste, and partnering with an ITAD provider will help reduce e-waste and protect enterprise data after asset retirement.
Sustainability is in the fast lane and rising. Companies worldwide are implementing environmental policies, adjusting packaging methods, and reusing metals to reduce their carbon footprint. In the race to reach environmental goals, there is one method that will significantly boost an organization’s sustainability numbers, maximize ROI, and help reduce its carbon impact: ITAD.

According to a recent United Nations report, the world produced over 137 billion pounds of e-waste in 2023, the equivalent of over 685 fully loaded Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. Less than a quarter of documented e-waste was disposed of properly. The e-waste crisis is increasing exponentially due to rapid technological advancement, and responsible IT asset management and disposition are more critical than ever to protect the environment from hazardous waste.
Having a disposition plan in place with an IT asset disposition provider enables companies to dispose of retired IT assets responsibly via electronics recycling.
Electronic waste makes up 70 percent of the world’s toxic waste, and proper disposition of retired IT assets not only help protect the environment, but can also protect the health of those living near landfills. IT asset disposition providers like HOBI collect retired IT assets like laptops, computers, tablets and smartphones, and ensure they are properly disposed of via e-recycling.
Partnering with an ITAD provider like HOBI helps avoid the hassle of getting rid of retired IT assets. ITAD professionals collect retired IT hardware like computers, desktops, laptops, phones, and tablets and provide many end-of-use services that protect clients’ data and the environment.
