When your computer needs replacing what do you do with it? Maybe its only 2 or 3 years old and its a liability. If you can sell it, well done but will you be expected to provide support?
It's estimated that the manufacture of one computer consumes 240kg of fossil fuels, 22kg of chemicals and 150kg of water. Many computer components are non-biodegradable and toxic. Many components - particularly batteries and cathode -ray tubes - contain lead, cadmium and mercury that are harmful to the environment.
Given these potential dangers, the re-use and recycling of computers has significant environmental benefits. Pass on your old computer to your friends and family - why not bring your grandparents into the IT age
When it’s time to dispose of IT assets, there are four major challenges:
Secure removal of all corporate data and identification
Maximising the residual value of your equipment
Compliance with stringent environmental legislation
Work carried out with minimal disruption to your busines
Ensure that your recycling partner's facilities are licensed and approved by the EPA to comply with strict limitations on discharges. Comply with the Hazardous Waste (Regulation of Exports and Imports) Act 1989. Has ISO 14001 Environmental Certification. Cost and/or refunds on a case by case basis.
Effective asset recycling and data security is essential whether you’re upgrading existing installations, downsizing or deploying new systems. All these activities can be time-consuming, risky and disruptive for critical business processes, particularly in a complex multi-service environment.
