Managed Solutions for E-Waste and End-of-Life IT Equipment
Sustainable IT asset management is an essential activity in minimising commercial and environmental risk. Effectively managing your obsolete computer equipment is now straightforward and environmentally beneficial. It is also cost effective and consistent with industry and Government policies on e-waste and Product Stewardship.
The ability to divert such products away from landfill is now considered to be standard industry practice, environmentally responsible and economically sensible. Furthermore, managed solutions for e-waste are able to deliver measurable waste reduction benefits that can enhance an organisation’s overall sustainability program.
Infoactiv Group has a comprehensive range of managed sustainability solutions specifically developed to remove the asset and facilities management burden confronting IT managers, procurement staff and others responsible for facilitymanagement and asset disposal. Our knowledge and expertise is unmatched when it comes to e-waste management, IT reuse and remarketing. Likewise, our commitment to customers is focused on the delivery of best-cost outcomes that are environmentally sounds.
What was once an ad hoc process of engaging e-waste scrap merchants, is now a robust and environmentally oriented service underpinned by certified systems to help protect customers and their stakeholders.
The challenge of managing end-of-life IT assets and other electronic equipment in the workplace is becoming a significant environmental management issue. Electronic waste or e-waste is now firmly on the agenda for local councils, State agencies, corporations, public bodies, retailer and environmental groups.
Most importantly the Federal Government has introduced new legislation, which covers the collection and recycling of end-of-life televisions and computer equipment. The Product Stewardship Act 2011, and associated television and computer waste Regulations are focused on resource recovery and improving e-waste recycling rates, as well as better managing potentially hazardous materials.
