Data Destruction and Erasure Services
NAID AAA certified with the highest data destruction standards to protect your business. Ensure sensitive data is permanently and irreversibly erased on computers, servers, mobile devices, or loose hard drives regardless of underlying technology.

Refurbishing and Remarketing
ITAD is more than recycling e-waste. A good sustainability plan should include the resell of tested, working Electronic and IT assets and parts.
You can be assured your retired assets are sold at true market values or donated to deserving charities. Lookout for our soon to be launched STec Marketplace, allowing the worldwide secondary market to watch and bid on your assets.

E-Waste Recycling Services
Our sustainability plan always targets reuse as the first option of IT Asset Disposition. However, when assets and their parts reach the end of their useful life, you can be assured their materials are being used to manufacture new products.

Data Center Decommissioning
With growth in Cloud adoption, private data centers are becoming obsolete. SustainableTec can process your data center assets, recover value and reduce the environmental impact.
Our Approach
From data sanitization and device shredding to the complete demanufacture and dismantlement of non-reusable assets, we handle every step in the e-recycling process. Our end-to-end, comprehensive process and expertise in regulatory requirements ensure your electronics are handled in a way that’s transparent, compliant and cost-efficient.
-
We customize our strategy to meet your needs, whether it’s data destruction, asset decommissioning, logistics, account reporting or e-recycling solutions.
-
We maintain complete custody of equipment throughout the process. Your materials, assets, and data don’t leave our hands until thoroughly processed or destroyed.
-
Any reusable items are sent for data sanitization, testing, refurbishment, and resale in the global sales network.
-
If units or components cannot be remarketed, we conduct secure, compliant processing — including data sanitization, demanufacturing or destruction — and dismantling so their components can be reused.
-
Materials deemed not suitable for any kind of reuse or resale are fully recycled. After being fully and securely sanitized, materials are completely demanufactured, dismantled, and separated into metals, glasses, and plastics so they can be used to make new products.

Data Sanitization, Destruction & Protection, On-site customer facility or in-house
The sanitization and shredding capabilities ensure sensitive data remains safe and protected. Whether on-site at your facility or in-house at ours, we can comprehensively wipe, shred, or destroy data from any device. We use industry leading wiping software for data sanitization, customized to your assets’ data overwriting and destruction requirements. Every track, sector, and cylinder of hardware is overwritten with predefined or random data. All existing data, including the operating system, are destroyed.
Take Back Programs
In many countries, electronics manufacturers are also responsible for collecting the old equipment which are discarded by customers. This is called "Extended Producer Responsibility" and it means manufacturers accept responsibility of the environmental and social impacts of the product throughout its life cycle. (production - use - disposal)
Many companies have "Take Back" Programs that allow customers to return old and unused equipment to buy new items. It’s an important trend because some products just can’t be put into a recycling bin outside of your house. Electronics, in particular, fit into that category.
E-Waste collected by producers with these programs are recycled responsibly at licensed E-waste Recycling facilities. SustainableTech helps both local and international electronics producers with their "Take Back" Programs in Turkey. Every item collected by SustainableTech is recycled properly and detailed "Certificate of Destruction" with model and serial numbers of the items are provided to the producers.
"Product Recall" programs are commonly used these days to withdraw the defected, outdated products or simply the products customers are not satisfied with from the market. Recent research shows that electrical and electronic product recall in the US increased by 20% in 2019. Main reasons are safety issues like risk of fire, risk of electrical shock or quality issues like stability and performance.
SustainableTech assists the producers in the collection of these defected items and ensures these products are kept off from the grey market and recycled responsibly so that producers reputation and brand image are always protected.
