IT Asset Disposal
Our R2v3 Sustainable Electronics, ISO 9001, ISO 14001 & ISO 45001 Certification ensures high standards. While some vendors handle IT hardware returns as separate transactions, it falls upon them to streamline the process from return initiation to final disposal, redeployment, or resale. This entails various tasks such as gathering used, damaged, outdated, or unwanted hardware, managing obsolete equipment, and recovering assets.
After gathering a product, there are numerous choices available for its disposal. If the product remains unused, it can be sold to a different customer or disposed of through appropriate channels. If it doesn't meet the required quality for either of these routes, it undergoes environmentally friendly recycling. eRecyc has established a structured process to aid clients with their IT hardware disposal needs. We anticipate crafting a reverse logistics strategy specifically suited to your individual needs.

Barcode stickers can also be attached and recorded during the audit. On completion, a final report in the agreed format is produced.
