Disposal of E-Waste
For Equitable, Environmentally Friendly Organizations
E-waste recycling certification ensures that when your company says it is sustainable, the word actually means something.
Compliance and information technology (IT) decision makers are constantly looking to minimize security risks, achieve business goals, maintain systems reliability, and increase user satisfaction. One key way to achieve all these aims is the implementation of company sustainability practices. From the C-Suite down, sustainability sounds great — great for marketing, great for the environment, great for the company. Yet, the goal of sustainability is, by itself, quite abstract. While the goal of sustainable business practices sounds excellent, it comes down to people such as IT Directors and Operators to actually implement those goals at a concrete level. When doing so, following the “SMART goal framework” is key, making sure company standards and processes are:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Achievable
- Relevant
- Time-Bound
One challenge that many IT professionals fail to address in a SMART way is how to deal with e-waste — a key aspect of sustainable business practices. Even more, how you handle e-waste speaks volumes about the values and goals of your company.
When it comes time to replace old PCs, mobile phones, hard drives, and other electronics, you have a few options to consider:
- Make repairs
- Donate older products
- Hire an electronics recycling company
Minimizing Risk; Maximizing Value
In 2008, the EPA created “Responsible Recycling Practices for Use in Accredited Certifications Programs,” or simply: R2 (“Responsible Recycling Certification”). It is similar to the e-Stewards certification, setting standards for e-waste recycling for companies, and continues to become more and more strict. Working with a company with e-waste certificates makes sense for a whole lot of different reasons, such as to:
- Improve compliance
- Increase the security of your asset disposition process
- Take responsibility for e-waste solutions
- Sustain company values
- Avoid potential fines and lawsuits
- Apply International Association of Electronics Recyclers (IAER) and Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI)-certified recycling processes
- Improve asset auditing and tracking
- Enhance public relations
