How do businesses dispose of IT Hardware?

E-waste is currently the fastest growing waste stream in the world, with millions of tonnes of technology ending up in landfill every year. 

Because of this, it’s essential for businesses to dispose of their e-waste as responsibly as possible to decrease their overall environmental impact and help create a sustainable future. 

How Can Companies Dispose of E-waste? 

One of the best ways for businesses to dispose of their used technology is to use an IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) service, particularly one with data protection and environmental credentials. 

For companies around the world, data security is an essential concern and many turn to IT destruction for their disposal methods in order to protect their business information. However, by using an ITAD service that guarantees data security, businesses can help protect the environment alongside their sensitive information. 

Similarly, if the ITAD suppliers follow environmental guidelines or hold a sustainability accreditation, such as the R2v3 accreditation, the impact of your technology on the environment can be tracked and reduced. 

ITAD ADISA Certification 

ITAD services with the ADISA certification are held to high-standards and must guarantee 100% data security and erasure for their clients. Looking out for this accreditation when disposing of used technology helps you to spot the trustworthy suppliers within the industry. These companies follow the most stringent data sanitisation procedures for ITAD and ADISA compliance. 

Why Should Companies Dispose of Their Used IT Correctly?  

Disposing of used IT hardware correctly isn’t simply a question of data security but also environmental impact.  

Many ITAD companies will help to decrease the environmental impact of used technology on the environment. For example, at Techbuyer we hold a zero-to-landfill policy on all technology we receive. This means that we refurbish all equipment that we can to extend the lifespan of the technology and we ethically recycle all other technology.  

Also, many companies do not realise the value that is retained in their used equipment; if any of this technology can be reused or refurbished, they can potentially receive a rebate value from an ITAD supplier to reinvest into their business.
