ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

  • REINVESTING YOUR EQUIPMENT: Did you know the US EPA recommends the reuse of all IT equipment if possible before recycling it? The benefits of reuse are exponentially more effective. Reusing one computer for example, saves over 500 lbs of carbon based fuels from having to be expended and removes nearly 50 lbs of chemicals that would have been processed. Our team of technicians and scientific refurbishers are experts in adding the value back in your obsolete equipment so they can be reused and remarketed at its highest potential. This increases your environmental commitment as well as your bottom line.

  • RESPONSIBLE RECYCLING: At Odyssey IT Remarketing we believe a zero landfill policy and a zero ewaste export policy are just the foundations of a sound environmental strategy. We also demand the strictest policies from our downstream partners as well.

  • DOWNSTREAM 3 POINT AUDITING: First we investigate their status with local, state, and governing agencies such as the EPA. Second, we perform a full systems audit, tracking where each asset is, and the process it goes through. Finally, we investigate the downstream they use, and the status of the final end of life disposition.

  • RESPONSIBLE SALES PRACTICES: We give preference to local buyers and traders. When a project or a client necessitates us to go beyond US Borders, we do so under strict EPA guidelines. When we do work with overseas groups, we will only ship working, usable IT equipment. Our pledge is to: NEVER EXPORT EWASTE.

WHAT WILL YOU LEAVE BEHIND?

The concepts of sustainability and being green are entirely achievable, but often difficult to define. The truth of the matter is that it takes a large amount of commitment to develop a global program of corporate sustainability. Our solution to these challenges is to take the problem, and focus on smaller manageable modules that can be implemented, measured and controlled so that the global program can sustain itself effectively and financially.

At Odyssey IT Remarketing, we offer a broad range of these modules, starting first with the largest problem of what to do with the assets you no longer use.

Much media coverage has been devoted to the problems associated with this hot button issue: irresponsible ewaste dumps into landfills, illegal exportation overseas, and the release of hazardous ewaste components into the Earth. We've all seen the tragedy of it, images of old PC's, cables, and monitors, piled into mountains, and poisoning the world.

Our goal therefore is to be the watchdog over your assets, to maximize its purpose, to keep it away from landfills, and to make sure any unrecoverable asset is recycled responsibly, and not sent overseas as ewaste.

Our legacy program: green it asset management and triage services

  • It must be clarified that though we work closely with multiple Recycling companies around the nation, we are not ourselves a RECYCLING Company -- The recycling solution would be to take a unit, bash, break and shred it down to its base components like plastics, metals, etc. and separate it based on its densities. We use this option only as a last resort.

  • When it comes to your retired end of life equipment, think of us as your Triage team. Using a laser scalpel approach, we take a unit and our first goal is to breathe life back into it. Our expertise is in fixing any ailments it may have, then to transplant any vital parts it is missing. For good measure, we destroy any of its memory (ie hard drive) that we find, and give it a blank slate to start over.

Our company is just one part of the equation. The most important part of the solution lies with You.

  • Take action: Talk to your Corporate IT or Facilities Manager; send them an email.

  • Inquire: Ask them what your company's IT disposition program is.

  • Does your company use an ITAD Service provider?

  • Investigate: Many cities and counties have Green Business Programs in place. Is your company a member?

  • Lead: Start a grassroots organization. Find sponsorship and support from Upper Management, but realize that the true decision making starts with you as an individual.

  • Does your company leverage your equipment for a discount on an incoming equipment refresh? Ask where the equipment will end up. You might find that the savings don't equal the risk, or the final cost
