Sustainability is a challenge that is growing increasingly more important as technology continues to advance, and businesses are taking steps to reduce their negative carbon impact. E-waste is a significant contributor to the waste crisis, as more electronics are discarded in favor of newer models. A common misconception is that actions don’t matter. However, when it comes to e-waste disposal, every action contributes to reducing hazardous materials, and partnering with an ITAD provider for sustainability solutions helps reduce carbon emissions, supports a circular economy, and ensures data security after asset retirement. 

As a hot topic in the business world, carbon impact is becoming an important focus area for many businesses. Greenhouse gas emissions from electronic devices and their waste increased by about 53 percent from 2014 to 2020. It is estimated that 852 metric tonnes of CO2 compounds will be emitted from e-waste by 2030. Partnering with an ITAD provider for sustainable solutions will help reduce negative carbon impact by keeping assets in circulation, reducing the need for new devices, and responsibly disposing of electronic waste. 

In the race to sustainability, utilizing an ITAD provider for responsible IT asset management and disposition will enhance environmental credibility, maximize the value of retired assets, and help companies achieve true sustainability through environmentally sound e-waste disposal. Sustainability is all the rage, but true sustainability lies in the balance of economic development, social progress, and environmental protection.
