Investments in information technology to power business are critical, and keeping up with new technologies with upgrades often leaves an IT department with computers or data center equipment they no longer need.  When looking for an electronics recycling company to take old equipment, be sure it is an R2 Electronics Recycling Company.R2 is a standard developed within the electronics recycling industry that focuses on the most environmentally responsible recycling. The best option is reuse, but for many businesses, concerns over data that is stored on a retired machine means equipment gets stacked somewhere to deal with later.  That’s like leaving money on the table.OceanTech works with companies from coast to coast that are upgrading or recycling electronics.  They assist with valuation, purchasing, and data destruction, and through online marketplaces, OceanTech sells refurbished electronics to businesses and organizations all over the world.The R2 Standard for recycling electronics focuses on the performance of electronics recyclers in the areas of:

• environmental and public health
• worker health and safety
• security (data and facility)
• the entire recycling process and chain of custody through final disposal

Keeping electronics out of landfills and refurbishing them for resale and reuse is the goal of OceanTech.  Businesses throughout the United States appreciate knowing that their electronics that have retained value will be reused, and because they have value, OceanTech pays to take them off your hands.Destroying data that resides on computers and hard drives is a key part of letting old equipment go, and OceanTech handles that through secure, documented data destruction using the industry’s highest standards.For more information on recycling electronics with an R2 Electronics Recycling Company and getting the most for your used electronics, contact OceanTech at 612 331 4456.
