Why Proper Disposal is Crucial for IT & Telecom Businesses
1. Data Security: Devices like hard drives, servers, and mobile phones often contain sensitive data. Secure data destruction and decommissioning are essential to prevent data theft or leaks.
2. Regulatory Compliance: Businesses in IT and telecom must adhere to strict data protection and environmental standards (such as GDPR or EPR regulations) when disposing of old equipment.
3. Resource Recovery: IT and telecom equipment contains valuable materials like gold, copper, and rare earth elements that can be recovered and reused, reducing the need for new resources and supporting sustainability.
