Environmentally Responsible IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)

We believe that reuse is the best form of recycling so our environmentally responsible IT asset disposition services follow a strict “no-landfill” policy. We champion the reuse of technology, ensuring that every piece of your retired IT gear is either repurposed or recycled responsibly.

Secure and streamlined, our facilities are equipped for top-notch data wiping and hardware processing. We’ve established a broad network for remarketing electronics, which means better returns for your assets. Plus, our comprehensive ITAD service is tailored to fit your needs, from logistics to complete data destruction.

Risk Mitigation

Your peace of mind is our priority. OceanTech expertly mitigates risks, safeguarding you from environmental and data threats. Our asset disposal protocols are stringent, significantly minimizing security breach risks. Adhering to R2 standards, we assure that your data is irretrievable once it leaves our hands.

Our data destruction methods—backed by a unique, patent-pending wiping solution—are thoroughly vetted. To ensure utmost confidence, we conduct regular external Quality Control tests, consistently confirming the effectiveness of our data security measures.

For further protection of client privacy, we also remove any asset tags or proprietary labels on equipment.

Data Security

In the journey of your data storage devices—from use to disposal—OceanTech ensures every piece of information is eradicated securely. Our certified data destruction process is backed by a secure chain of custody, ensuring that your confidential data never falls into the wrong hands.

General Security

Compliant software-based data destruction is performed on all data containing devices using WipeOS. A report detailing equipment and/or storage (i.e. hard drive) information will NOT be provided, only a certificate of destruction (CoD). The CoD will include data destruction, regulatory and environmental compliance standards that are met for each ITAD project.

Data Sanitization

Data sanitization is performed on all data containing devices using WipeOS. A report will be produced after a project detailing each device make, model, serial number, storage (i.e. hard drive) serial number, and certificate of destruction (CoD). The CoD will include data destruction, regulatory and environmental compliance standards that are met for each project

Media Shredding

All hard drives and data containing media are physically destroyed. A report will be produced after a project detailing each device make, model, serial number, storage (i.e. hard drive) serial number, and certificate of destruction (CoD). The CoD will include data destruction, regulatory and environmental compliance standards that are met for each project.

Based in Minneapolis, OceanTech has a large network of removal specialists and recyclers across all 50 states and around the world. We have our own trucks and contracts with the best logistics companies to ensure timely removal. Wherever excess equipment is located OceanTech can have removal teams there and ready to go.

Storage

Having outdated or surplus electronics cluttering your facility can be a real setback to your operation as well as your profitability. Space is money and we understand that. We have ample storage space at our secure facility and we are able to take any amount of equipment that you need removed.

Here at OceanTech, we understand that many companies are not equipped with loading docks, and getting equipment ready for removal can be a real hassle. That is why we offer a full service IT asset disposition option, and will remove equipment directly from wherever it is located in a client’s facilities.
