CirCon#31 - What is ITAD and Why Does it Matter?

Happy Monday! Let’s get stuck in.
Circular Showcase
We're about to head to Las Vegas for the ITAD Summit, so it feels fitting to showcase a selection of ITAD companies leading the way in driving circularity in technology.
If you're not already familiar, ITAD stands for IT Asset Disposition - an all-encompassing term covering everything from asset recovery and repair through to remarketing (and recycling, although we aim to keep that to a minimum!).
The industry has seen remarkable growth in recent years and is set for even greater expansion. ITAD plays a pivotal role in the circular economy, with e-waste now recognised as one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. By prioritising refurbishment and reuse, ITAD companies help keep technology assets out of landfill and in the hands of consumers.
