Sustainable Tech Disposal Best Practices

A focused set of 10 actionable best practices for Sustainable Tech Disposal — the practices that close the gap between environmental compliance and data security, so decommissioned drives don't sit in a storage closet for two years because no one owns the disposal process. Built for technology leaders responsible for retiring hardware safely.

What's Inside

• 10 Best Practices — covering certified ITAD vendors, chain-of-custody for data-bearing assets, e-waste compliance, and the reuse-before-recycle hierarchy most teams skip
• Introduction — why disposal is both an environmental issue and a data-security issue, not just a facilities task
• PowerPoint Format — Clean slides ready for team presentations, workshops, or leadership briefings

How Teams Use It

• IT operations teams use it to build a documented disposition process instead of letting retired hardware pile up unmanaged
• Use as a checklist to vet ITAD vendors and verify data destruction before assets leave the building
• Incorporate into training materials, onboarding decks, or strategy presentations
