According to Business Wire, a business news wire service, in an article posted on 5/23/2011, nearly 2.4 billion pounds of computer equipment and mobile phones recycled in the United States alone in 2010, recycling remains a major source of concern due to its impact on the environment. The article further states, “There are so many interconnected issues associated with IT asset disposal that it is often hard for IT managers to anticipate all the challenges they will face when it’s time to retire their equipment,” said David Daoud, research director, Personal Computing and Green IT at IDC.

Recycling

CDR Global, Inc. takes a proactive approach to environmental issues and implements procedures in our operations in accordance with requirements of Local and State governments.

The WEEE directive (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) is widely perceived as the benchmark and the following are highlights of requirements,
Exclusion of incineration for energy recovery as recycling option.

Removal of harmful substances in manufacture.
Targets set for Collection and Re-Use/Recycling (emphasis on re-use).
Producer responsibility for scheme management and achievement of targets.
Possible mandatory take-back schemes.
No charges for private recycling.

As an example, IT equipment is currently responsible for some 44% of this waste stream total in Europe and is a key element in the commissions targets for re-use, since many of the other electronic waste products do not lend themselves to re-use.

The above proposals are transforming the redundant IT sector and will have implications for every commercial undertaking. IDC (International Data Corporation) estimate that the IT re-marketing/re-use sector will double over the next four years despite plummeting unit prices.

Asset Management

Why the need for IT Disposal?
Corporations have made the need for effective, reliable and financially secure disposal services abundantly clear, and Computer Dealers & Recyclers Global, Inc. has structured itself to offer tailor made programs for the most complex requirements.
Computer Dealers & Recyclers Global, Inc. provide an efficient and cost effective way to remove and dispose of all redundant I.T. equipment, with the knowledge that all data and environmental issues meet the strictest environmental legislation. We proactively ensure all ethical and legal obligations are met.

The driving forces:

Desktop Turn Over Rising – The rate of desktop ‘turn over’ is rising. Technology is moving at pace that Corporates’ constantly need to upgrade & refresh to keep in line with present economic demands.

Environmental Pressure – Current & pending legislation dictate strict demands & guidelines for waste management. Over and above the legal restraints on companies, there is increasing pressure from all quarters for companies to act in a more “green” and “eco-friendly” manner.

Maximize PC Residuals – Long-term storage can prove costly, not only by per Square feet but also in PC value. Remarketing or Redeployment of old IT can be an effective method of reducing costs.

Data Security – Integrity of sensitive data is fundamental in today’s competitive environment and legislation also dictates that Duty of Care obligations are met. Provisions need to be made for the time and resource consuming function of removing all confidential data.

Positive Marketing – If handled correctly, these issues can be used as positive marketing tools both to the external world of customers and investors and to staff internally.

Cost conscious Corporates’ need to understand and prioritize these driving forces to enable them to identify & implement an effective IT Disposal policy.

Data Removal

admin — Fri, 20 May 2011 12:01:01 +0000

Data destruction of private and confidential information is crucial to all organizations. Company policies and governmental regulations require that computer data be handled in a secure manner. All data, programs, and operating systems are destroyed upon equipment start up. If the machine fails to power up, the hard disk is removed and physically destroyed. To best meet your data destruction needs, you may select a method ranging from a one pass overwrite, to a DOD that meets specifications set by the U.S Department of Defense:

STD – Simple one pass overwrite of entire hard drive on good working hard drive. In most scenarios, this method is sufficient for data protection, and leaves the hard drive in working condition for reuse.
ALT1 – Magnetic Degauss destruction of magnetic domains, heads, and components on Non-working hard drives. This method completely destroys hard drive and depletes all value.
ALT2 – Physical destruction of hard drive platters and electronics on non-working hard drives. This method completely destroys hard drive and depletes all value.
DOD – Triple pass U.S. Department of Defense Specification. This method is the most comprehensive of all the methods and leaves the drive in working condition to maximize value
