A few features, in particular, tend to set legitimate ITAD companies apart from the pack.
The ITAD space is busy. In recent years, new companies have adopted the IT Asset Disposition label at an increasing rate, making the job of finding the right match for your retired IT assets even harder than before. Arizona is no exception.
Recycling e waste brings rewards to businesses, including a potential new revenue stream, sustainability leadership, and brand safeguarding
Sometimes you may need a reminder to keep up the good work. Or, if you feel like your organization could do better, you may present a few facts to prove to superiors that recycling e waste makes a difference.
When recycling electronics, make sure you work with R2-certified recyclers. Here’s why.
Although most companies have heard of the R2 certification, not everyone may fully appreciate how important it really is. When a multinational corporation like Morgan Stanley can neglect to hire R2 certified recyclers — a decision that turned into a class-action lawsuit, it goes to show the message can’t be driven home often enough.
Morgan Stanley did not prioritize R2 recycling — and it ended in disaster. In this video, GER President Kristina Picciotti weighs in on the importance of working with the right electronics recycler.
Nothing underscores the importance of R2 recycling than the recent Morgan Stanley data breach. The multinational financial services company and investment bank terminated a contract with its trusted ITAD partner in favor of a company with no experience in the business of sanitizing end-of-life IT assets.
Do your hard drives really need degaussing? For the sake of IT asset recovery, other methods could yield better returns.
Degaussing is a common practice to destroy discarded hard drives on-site. The urge to be cautious is understandable. But, the process renders the drives unusable and, consequently, bad for recouping value in secondary markets. If increasing IT asset recovery is the goal, entrust the task of data sanitization to your electronics recycler.
Recycling corporate e waste shouldn’t be a hassle. By eliminating confusion and disorder, you score environmental, brand, and operational wins
Evaluating the performance of your electronics recycling partner — or partners — is one of those tasks that tends to get pushed back by day-to-day work demands. It may require a major hiccup for a company to take note that the electronic recycler is not meeting standards. Alternatively, you may be facing a scenario in which the issues keep mounting until the situation gradually deteriorates from “make-do” to unsustainable.
Navigating regulations on how to ship batteries for recycling can seem like a maze, but don’t leave the job undone.
How to responsibly ship batteries for recycling is causing many industries a massive headache. As electronic devices with built-in batteries have proliferated, so has the need for responsible recycling. But finding someone who will take on the job is usually the next challenge. Extracting batteries from AirPods or vaping devices, for example, is incredibly time-consuming even for seasoned recycling experts.
These days, you should expect a lot more from your ITAD partner than a check-the-box strategy. Here’s what to look for.
Repeated mishaps, lack of flexibility, disappointing returns. If your current ITAD partner turning in a lackluster performance, it’s time to look elsewhere for a better fit. Whether you are decommissioning a data center, undertaking a refresh cycle, or disposing of excess manufacturing components, you will benefit from a partnership centered around your needs, not the other way around.
