IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)

Secure, compliant IT asset disposition — certified data destruction, responsible e-waste recycling, and asset remarketing delivered across 190+ countries.

What We Do

Retire IT Assets Securely. Meet Every Compliance Obligation.

When IT equipment reaches end of life, the risks don't disappear with it — they multiply. Unwiped drives, undocumented assets, and non-compliant disposal routes expose your organisation to data breaches, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage. IPGlobal's ITAD service eliminates that risk entirely.

From single-office collections to global multi-site rollouts, our certified engineers audit, collect, destroy, recycle, and remarket your IT assets with full chain-of-custody documentation — leaving you with certificates, a clean audit trail, and often, recovered revenue.

Our Services

Full-Spectrum IT Asset Disposition Services

Certified Data Destruction

Software erasure to NIST 800-88, DoD 5220.22-M, and HMG IS5 standards using Blancco and Ontrack certified tools. Physical destruction via degaussing or shredding for failed, encrypted, or solid-state media where software erasure is not viable.

Asset Remarketing & Resale

Maximise the residual value of retired hardware through our global remarketing network. Laptops, servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment are assessed, graded, and sold through certified channels — with revenue returned to your organisation.

E-Waste & Responsible Recycling

R2, e-Stewards, and WEEE-compliant recycling for all end-of-life IT equipment that cannot be remarketed. Zero landfill policy. All downstream vendors are audited, and you receive a recycling manifest confirming environmentally responsible disposal of every asset.

Certificate of Destruction

A legally defensible Certificate of Destruction is issued for every asset, documenting the serial number, destruction standard applied, date of processing, and responsible technician. Certificates are retained securely and available for regulatory audits, insurance requirements, and internal compliance reviews.

IT Asset Auditing & Tracking

Complete on-site inventory of all assets scheduled for retirement — including make, model, serial number, condition grade, and data storage type. Our audit creates the baseline for your chain-of-custody record and ensures no asset leaves your premises undocumented.

Logistics & Collection

Secure, chain-of-custody-managed collection from a single office or hundreds of global sites. Assets are tagged at point of collection, transported in tamper-evident packaging, and scanned into our secure processing facility. We coordinate around your operational schedule to minimise disruption.

How It Works

Our 5-Step ITAD Process

1

Asset Audit

On-site inventory of all retirement-bound assets — make, model, serial, storage type, and condition — creating the chain-of-custody baseline.

2

Collection & Transport

Secure collection in tamper-evident packaging with GPS-tracked transport and a signed manifest at every handover point.

3

Data Destruction

Certified software erasure to NIST 800-88 or physical destruction for non-erasable media — every asset processed and logged individually.

4

Asset Processing

Remarketing-eligible assets are graded and listed for resale; non-viable hardware enters the R2/WEEE-compliant recycling stream.

5

Certificate & Report

Certificates of Destruction, recycling manifests, and a full audit pack delivered — with any remarketing proceeds settled to your account.

Why IPGlobal

Compliance-First ITAD. Delivered at Scale.

NIST 800-88 Certified Destruction

Every data-bearing asset is erased or destroyed to recognised government and industry standards. Our processes are auditable, documented, and defensible in any regulatory or legal context.

Certificates Issued Per Asset

Each individual asset receives its own Certificate of Destruction — no batch certificates, no ambiguity. Your compliance team gets the granular documentation they need for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and beyond.

R2-Certified Recycling

Zero-landfill recycling through our R2 and e-Stewards certified partner network. We provide downstream vendor audit results and a recycling manifest confirming responsible end-of-life processing for every component.

Global Logistics & Collection

Single-vendor management of ITAD programmes across 190+ countries. We coordinate collections, transport, and processing globally — so you deal with one contract, one account manager, and one consolidated audit pack.

Revenue Recovery Through Remarketing

Where hardware retains market value, our remarketing service puts money back in your budget. Assets are graded, tested, and sold through certified channels — with net proceeds settled to your organisation after processing.

Compliance-Ready Audit Packs

Complete documentation packages ready for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and defence-sector audits. Every project closes with a structured audit pack your legal and compliance teams can rely on without further work.

FAQ

Common Questions About IT Asset Disposition

What is IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)?

IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is the structured process of securely retiring, repurposing, or disposing of end-of-life IT equipment. It covers everything from certified data destruction and physical asset auditing through to responsible e-waste recycling and asset remarketing. IPGlobal's ITAD service ensures your organisation meets environmental, security, and regulatory obligations at every stage.

What data destruction methods do you use?

We support NIST 800-88, DoD 5220.22-M, and HMG IS5 erasure standards using certified software tools including Blancco and Ontrack. For devices where software erasure is not viable — such as failed drives or SSDs — we perform physical destruction via degaussing or shredding. Every method is documented and traceable to the individual asset serial number.

Do you issue Certificates of Destruction?

Yes. A Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is issued for every asset processed, documenting the asset serial number, destruction method applied, date of destruction, and the technician responsible. These certificates are admissible for audit, regulatory, and insurance purposes and are stored securely for the period required by your compliance framework.

How do you ensure environmental compliance?

IPGlobal holds R2 and e-Stewards certification and complies fully with WEEE and RoHS regulations. No equipment is sent to landfill. Reusable assets are refurbished and remarketed; non-reusable components are broken down and recycled through approved downstream vendors. A full environmental audit trail is provided with your end-of-project report.

Can I recover value from retired IT assets?

Absolutely. Through our asset remarketing and resale programme, IPGlobal assesses the residual market value of retired hardware — including servers, laptops, networking equipment, and storage arrays — and returns revenue to your organisation after data erasure is complete. Remarketing can significantly offset the cost of your ITAD programme.

How do you handle collection and logistics?

IPGlobal manages end-to-end secure logistics, including asset tagging at point of collection, chain-of-custody documentation, secure transport, and facility intake scanning. We operate across 190+ countries, coordinating collections from single offices to multi-site global rollouts. Our logistics team works around your operational schedule to minimise disruption.
