IT Asset Disposition in Today’s Circular Economy

IT asset disposition (ITAD) presents hidden risks, including data breaches, legal liabilities, and environmental damage. In today’s circular economy, responsible companies must move beyond the outdated linear “use-and-dispose” model to embrace sustainable asset lifecycle practices. This white paper explores the dangers of DIY ITAD, the importance of choosing certified providers, and strategies to minimize risk while maximizing reuse and recovery value. By aligning ITAD with environmental and governance policies, businesses can protect their brand, improve compliance, and support global sustainability goals. When handled correctly, ITAD becomes a financial, environmental, and reputational opportunity, not a liability.
