As the amount of e-waste across the globe continues to grow, secure electronics recycling and disposal is more important than ever.

E-waste, or waste from electronic devices, is the fastest growing waste stream in the world. It is estimated that 48.5M tons of e-waste was generated in 2018 according to the World Economic Forum.

Your organization's contribution may include:

  • Servers, desktop computers and laptops.
  • Smartphones and tablets.
  • Printers, scanners and related peripherals.
By design, these devices have shorter lifespans than ever. IT asset disposition is a business imperative. Organizations must stay in compliance with environmental regulations, as well as an increasing number of laws governing the proper disposition of sensitive data that may remain within this equipment.

Meeting sustainability goals was listed as the top ITAD objective (52%) in 2020 IDG Research survey amongst enterprise level IT directors. Remarketing and recycling your old IT assets can meet this goal, while also providing the option to retain some of their value.
