How can Iron Mountain support your sustainability goals?

Secure IT Asset Disposition

Regardless of the size or industry of your company, you need a defined process and secure procedures for disposing of retired and non-working assets. Regulatory penalties, a damaged brand reputation and inadvertent disclosures could result from improper methods.

Iron Mountain® secure e-Waste and IT asset disposition (secure ITAD) services enable you to securely dispose of obsolete it assets in an environmentally-responsible manner through certified partner organisations. You can also maximise your asset value recovery with industry-leading logistics and secure chain of custody processes.

Iron Mountain works with e-Stewards or R2 certified partner organisations that follow the strictest environmental and data privacy guidelines. Customers have the option to retain the value of retired it assets through refurbishment, data sanitisation, and reselling at market price. This allows customers to participate in the circular economy while reducing the total cost of ownership and fully maintaining security and sustainability requirements. Assets can also be recycled and we adhere to the strictest guidelines including a no-overseas and no-landfill policy.
