About Whitepaper

IT asset disposition (ITAD) can pose several serious risks for your company, including fines, lawsuits, and litigation costs associated with data breaches, environmental contamination from illegal dumping, the illegal transportation of e-waste overseas, and negative audits when industry best practices are not followed.

Whether you choose a DIY approach to ITAD or use a certified service provider, it is critical to un- derstand the risks involved throughout the pro- cess so your company can mitigate those risks.

In this paper, we provide some background on the new circular economy paradigm that corpo- rations worldwide are striving towards to ad- vance their own environmental, lifecycle, social, and corporate governance policies that will help them maintain a competitive edge in this chang- ing corporate landscape. We will also briefly look at the exponentially growing problem of e-waste worldwide and its environmental and societal implications.
