Prevent e-waste with IT hardware maintenance

A lot of energy — literally and figuratively — goes into creating IT hardware, such as servers, storage and networking equipment. They rely on rare minerals, precious metals, and plastics. Data centers alone are responsible for a whopping two million tons of e-waste annually. This adds up to about 4% of all of humanity’s e-waste.

Keeping data centers up and running reliably is critical and alongside efforts like buying refurbished hardware, data center managers can extend the life of their hardware as long as possible through a comprehensive IT equipment maintenance plan. Not only does this get your business the most bang for your buck, it helps prevent unnecessary e-waste from ending up in landfills around the world or incinerated into the air we breathe. Plus, these sustainability efforts help IT to take the lead on ESG efforts.
