Quam Arewa , CEO Green Device Recycling
Green Device Recycling caters to companies of all types across South Africa , including those with unique equipment requirements , from regular office equipment recycling to specialised hospital equipment collection . Our expertise in electronic device recycling allows us to offer a top-quality experience to all our clients , regardless of industry .
Secure data erasure
Data sanitisation is crucial to prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands . Employing certified data destruction methods , such as physical destruction or data wiping techniques that meet industry standards , ensures that information stored on discarded devices is irretrievable .
Collaboration and accountability
Effective e-waste management requires collaboration among various stakeholders , including consumers , manufacturers , and government bodies . By establishing and enforcing regulations , governments can encourage responsible e-waste disposal practices . Manufacturers , in turn , should be incentivised to design products with easier recyclability and secure data disposal in mind .
Extended producer responsibility
Implementing extended producer responsibility , EPR programmes can hold manufacturers accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products , including their proper disposal . EPR encourages manufacturers to design products with recyclability and data security in mind , making it financially viable for them to take responsibility for end-of-life management .
Partnering
The e-waste disposal , ITAD service includes advice on electronic waste management , electronic waste collection , secure data destruction on hard drives , and comprehensive documentation and certificates of destruction . Green Device Recycling also offer data destruction services compliant with government and industry standards , including the permanent and secure destruction of residual data from storage devices .
The parts of the hard drives that are no longer needed are either recycled or broken down into materials , such as steel , aluminium , brass , magnet , and copper , which are then used by manufacturing companies .
For smaller continual electronic waste , Green Device Recycling offers e-waste bin hire for companies such as manufacturing , engineering , and IT repair companies . The bin deposition service involves requests for e-waste solutions and bins . Additionally , we provide a specialised decommissioning service for telecommunication and industrial companies .
A nationwide decommissioning service includes disconnecting , dismantling , removing , recycling , and reporting on server racking , switchboards , and other large and difficult-to-move equipment . Green Device Recycling has extensive experience and training and work with leading network and infrastructure providers to handle any challenge , even in remote or difficult-toreach locations .
Governments , businesses , and consumers must work together to raise awareness , implement effective regulations , and hold manufacturers accountable . By doing so , we can mitigate the risks associated with e-waste and ensure a safer , more sustainable digital future for all .
The intertwining issues of e-waste and data security pose significant challenges to individuals , businesses , and the environment . Addressing this growing problem requires a collective effort to promote responsible waste management practices , including secure data erasure and proper recycling . p
