Commercial Asset Recovery
Asset Recovery Programs
Large corporate and government enterprises, as well as small business, need to
regularly upgrade their technology hardware infrastructures platform to remain
competitive. This constant cycle of refreshing technology creates the ongoing
need for the environmentally and economically viable disposition of equipment.
Stockpiling and storing this equipment isn't the answer. Placing electronic
equipment, which potentially constitutes hazardous waste, in the trash could
lead to fines and penalties from local and state Environmental Protection
Agencies.
GreenSight works with its clients to identify and execute remarketing programs
designed to return the maximum recovery value for technology assets, while
ensuring the highest level of data security and environmental compliance.
GreenSight leverages its long-established remarketing channel network to
facilitate in the fast recovery of residual value for its customers' equipment.
By deploying specialized sales teams dedicated to the efficient resale of used
technology equipment, GreenSight can provide industry leading resale values in
a rapid order. In many instances, GreenSight will even pay its customers up
front for technology assets earmarked for asset recovery. In all cases,
customers receive Certificates of Disposal certifying that all technology
equipment was remarketing or disposed in an EPA-compliant manner.
Data Security and Destruction
In addition to recycling used electronic products, GreenSight offers the most
advanced methods for sanitizing data from, or completely destroying, PC
desktop, laptop and server hard drives.
GreenSight complies with the highest standards for sanitizing electronic data
by using "Active Kill Disk" software which adheres to the U.S. Department of
Defense (DOD 5220.22-M Sanitization Schedule) standards. This data sanitation
utility optimizes the hard drive wiping process by performing three passes
which overwrite random characters across the drive platters, rendering the data
irretrievable by standard recovery methods. This "Three Pass DOD" sanitation
can be employed on all IDE/SCSI drives of any size, and complies with the U.S.
Government data erasure standards for all secret, sensitive and classified
information.
Hard drives that are not capable of running the "Active Kill Disk" software are
destroyed using a hard drive crushing device that has the capability of boring
a 2.5 inch diameter hole through the drive and all of its platters, rendering
the data on the drives irretrievable.
Definition of Electronic Waste (E-Waste)
Electronic waste, or E-waste, includes technology equipment, consumer
electronics, cell phones and other electronic items that are considered at
their ends of the useful and lives and have been discarded by their owners. In
recent years, the volume of E-waste both in the United States and abroad has
grown dramatically - almost one billion personal computers alone will be
replaced worldwide by the end of the decade. If not processed properly, E-waste
becomes a major source of toxins and carcinogens and may contain such hazardous
materials as lead, mercury and cadmium. Despite its common classification as a
waste, disposed electronics are a source of considerable recycling activity due
to its potential demanufacture and reuse and downstream material recycling of
its constituent raw materials.
