To improve performance and security, businesses tend to upgrade their IT equipment every 2 or 3 years, which also implies sending tons of valuable IT Assets to the e-waste mountain. Therefore, businesses choose either an ITAD partner or an electronic recycling company to get rid of their equipment responsibly.

Let's see the similitudes and differences between these two industries:

Electronics Recycling Companies

Electronic recycling facilities collect discarded IT Assets from individuals and businesses to give them a second chance.

While recycling your excess equipment is an excellent environmental contribution, it will not benefit your finances. And please don't forget that users who send their discarded electronics to a recycling facility must first wipe or destroy all sensitive data.

ITAD Companies

IT Asset Disposition (ITAD for short) offers both sell and buyback of IT Assets to minimize the environmental impact caused by electronics. The remarketed equipment is typically sold via an online platform like eBay.

(+) Similarities:

Both industries operate under the idea of creating a better environment by reducing and reusing electronic equipment.

(-) Differences:

ITAD providers offer a wide range of specialized services that are typically not available through traditional recycling companies. Additionally, ITAD companies ensure the security of your data throughout the disposal process, whereas recycling companies may not provide this level of data protection.
