Banking on a Greener Future: How Your Financial Institution Can Lead the Charge in Electronics Recycling and Sustainability

📋Compliance with Regulations

Recycling your e-waste helps your organization comply with local, national and international regulations on electronic waste disposal. Proper recycling can help you avoid fines and penalties while maintaining your good standing with regulators.

🌳Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Recycling your electronics showcases your commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. This is a simple way to support your company’s reputation while building up its CSR efforts.

🔒Data Security

Securely recycling your electronics helps to ensure that sensitive data stored on old devices is properly destroyed, reducing the risk of data breaches and protecting your customers’ information.

💸Cost Savings

A data breach can cost up to $9.44 million in the United States, with costs rising by ~10% from 2020 to 2021 alone! (Source: IBM) This is why recycling can sometimes be more cost-effective than disposing of your data-containing devices. By recycling with a certified recycler like AIT, you are guaranteeing a secure chain-of-custody and physical data destruction procedure that abides by both NIST 800-80 and NAID data destruction procedures for all of your devices with sensitive data.

♻️Environmental Sustainability

By choosing to recycle your electronics and destroy your hard drives, SDs, or other data devices, you are preventing harmful materials such as lead, mercury and cadmium from entering the environment in landfills. By recycling, you are helping to prevent these harmful substances from polluting the environment.
