IT asset recovery (ITAR) and IT asset disposition (ITAD) are two closely related terms that are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings.
IT Asset Recovery
IT asset recovery encompasses the entire process of managing the end-of-life lifecycle of IT assets, from identifying and securing them to data destruction, recycling or repurposing, and finally, disposal. It’s a comprehensive approach that aims to maximize the value of IT assets while ensuring data security and environmental sustainability.
IT Asset Disposition
IT asset disposition (ITAD) specifically refers to the disposal of IT assets, including physical destruction, shredding, or recycling. It’s a crucial step in the ITAR process, ensuring that sensitive data is permanently erased and that the assets are handled responsibly to minimize environmental impact.
ITAD becomes relevant when your IT equipment reaches the end of its useful life. This moment varies by company and use case.
What may be outdated for you can still be valuable to others. Taking timely action helps you avoid data risks, reduce costs, and support sustainability.
IT Asset Disposition ensures old IT is handled securely, protects sensitive data, and recovers value from surplus equipment. It blends security, environmental care, and financial benefit.
ITAD promotes reuse and recycling of IT equipment. It reduces e-waste and CO₂ emissions. This supports goals like the circular economy. Calculate your impact with our impact calculator.
