R2 Recycling Companies: An Outdated Approach to ITAD

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., November 18, 2019 (Newswire.com) - There are many companies that continue to rely on traditional R2 recyclers for retired, surplus IT asset disposal. Unfortunately, these recyclers only focus on one thing, the disposal of IT equipment. The problem with this? We don’t live in 1975 anymore and in 2019 the value of IT equipment far outweighs the concept of throwing servers and other components into landfills. The vast majority of electronic recyclers charge their clients fee’s for freight and disposal of electronics with no intention of re-use. Unlike traditional recyclers, IT asset management companies provide the same level of recycling services with a focus on data security and re-marketing of retired, surplus IT assets.

Recycling is only one aspect of what KruseCom can provide to its clients. KruseCom’s first priority is data security. DATA security is the first and foremost reason why you should use a company that understands all applicable laws, such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley. In fact, companies should be primarily concerned with secure data erasure/destruction and audit of their current retired, surplus IT equipment. When done correctly companies like KruseCom can create a zero-cost program for clients, which at times includes a full-time staff on-site managing all of its client’s end-of-life IT assets.

Only when data security protocols are followed does KruseCom asses whether or not the equipment can be re-marketed or downstream recycling is needed. Typically, KruseCom clients receive payment for their retired, surplus IT assets in addition to data destruction and equipment audit services. “In addition to data security, the value that KruseCom can provide for end-of-life assets is what separates us from the traditional electronic recyclers,” CEO Marc Sherman.

Unlike electronic recycling, IT asset management follows strict processes to ensure the safety of a company’s data as well as provide value to that company for their end-of-life assets. When you can provide clients with value in addition to peace of mind, it only makes sense that industries move on from traditional electronic recyclers and transition into full IT asset management services.
