IT Disposal and Recycling - Challenges and Benefits

Turning Green Into Gold

Challenges of IT Disposal and Recycling

• Maintaining your data security – The need for security does not end the moment that a piece of hardware reaches the end of its service life. Many organisations need to be able to track their redundant stock every step of the way through the disposal service. Data breaches resulting from corporate and public data is now a serious issue. The extensive media coverage and damage to organisations and brands involved in recent data security breaches has brought identity theft detection and prevention to the forefront of IT Directors concerns, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) will be able to order organisations to pay up to £500,000 as a penalty for serious breaches and deliberate or negligent breaches of personal data which is a hundred times the current maximum penalty, from April 2010.
   
• Managing Capital Cuts and Reducing Operational Expenses – IT Directors are under increasing pressure to cut capital expenditure and reduce annual operating costs, whilst providing technologies to deliver improved services to ensure competitive advantage.
   
• Making The Most Of Your Redundant IT – Many organisations don’t realise the residual value available for their redundant IT equipment and do not have the time and resource needed to assess the equipment and engage with an IT Recycling supplier.
   
• Meeting The Demands For Greener IT – Many organisations are looking for ways to help them continually reduce CO2 emissions, to enhance their brand, their CSR policies or to comply with the latest carbon emission legislation.
   
• Managing Your IT Assets – Asset management is vital for an organisation, to ensure traceability of the assets from inception to the end of the lifecycle of the asset.
