When most people think about IT Asset Disposition (ITAD), they focus on data security or cost savings. But there’s another major benefit—protecting the planet.
In this post, we explore how a proper ITAD strategy reduces environmental harm, conserves natural resources, and supports a circular economy.
E-Waste Is a Growing Global Problem
Worldwide, we generate over 50 million tons of e-waste each year—and less than 20% is formally recycled.
The rest often ends up:
- In landfills, where it leaches toxic chemicals
- Shipped to developing countries for unsafe processing
- Sitting in storage closets, collecting dust and value loss
Proper ITAD keeps this from happening.
The Green Side of ITAD
A certified ITAD partner (like IITS) doesn’t just discard equipment. We:
- Recover usable parts for resale or refurbishment
- Recycle responsibly with certified downstream vendors
- Minimize landfill waste and reduce your carbon footprint
Plus, we handle all logistics, certifications, and compliance, so you don’t have to.
How Your Company Benefits
By choosing environmentally responsible ITAD, you:
- Meet ESG goals and corporate sustainability mandates
- Earn goodwill from clients and stakeholders
- Avoid regulatory fines and legal exposure
More and more companies are being judged not just by what they do, but how they do it. Sustainability matters.
ITAD as a Brand Statement
Sustainable ITAD is more than a checkbox—it’s a reputation builder. Whether you’re going for ISO 14001 certification or just doing the right thing, partnering with IITS signals that you care about both security and sustainability.
