OUR MISSION: ITAD for A Better Planet

WE REDUCE: We Reduce IT’s Impact on the Planet Through IT Asset Disposition

Electronics have an effect on the planet through every step of their lifecycle—from the destruction of ecosystems as raw materials are extracted, to the manufacturing process, through use, to when they reach the end of their lifespan. E-waste often contains hazardous substances like lead, mercury and brominated flame retardants. These toxic substances are released into the environment—whether the e-waste is disposed of in a landfill or incinerated—leading to ground and air pollution and health risks.

There is no planet B. CentricsIT is on a mission to help companies dispose of their IT hardware in a safe, secure way that minimizes ecological impact. An ITAD company with more than 17 years of experience in giving IT hardware new life, CentricsIT is committed to reducing the ecological effects of IT by prioritizing reuse and championing recycling.

WE REUSE: We Prepare IT Equipment for Reuse through ITAD

The greenest form of recycling is reuse, which is why an ITAD company like CentricsIT is committed to helping companies get the most out of their equipment through refurbishment and remarketing. The production of new electronic devices requires the extraction and processing of raw materials. These processes emit greenhouse gases and other pollutants while also contributing to the destruction of habitats around the world.

As an ITAD company, our services address this waste stream by prioritizing reuse of IT hardware through our programs. These programs add value to Environmental Social Governance (ESG) initiatives by leveraging used hardware in ways beneficial to both the environment and social programs. Our ITAD services prepare equipment for new life, offering programs that support remarketing, buyback programs and donation to community groups. Reuse retains the value in the equipment, sharing that value between your company, the community and the environment.

WE RECYCLE: We Recycle according to R2

CentricsIT is R2 certified and only works with other R2-certified recyclers and ITAD companies, ensuring environmental, quality, health and safety, and data security standards. When IT hardware reaches not just EOL but the final end of its life, CentricsIT extracts valuable components from the hardware and works with other recyclers to recover as much as possible throughout the ITAD process.

The R2, or Responsible Recycling certification, is adopted by organizations that process used electronics, including ITAD companies. It is accredited by the EPA and housed by SERI, a non-profit organization that works to minimize environmental and health risks related to e-waste while maximizing its value. It sets the standard as the most widely adopted standard for used electronics worldwide and requires annual auditing to ensure quality and compliance.

OUR PROMISE: Security and Data Protection in ITAD

End-to-End Physical and Data Security through IT Asset Disposition

Data security within the ITAD process is our number one priority, beginning with a thorough data wiping procedure for all data-bearing devices. This process often employs industry-standard data erasure software that meets regulatory and compliance requirements, ensuring all data is irreversibly destroyed. For devices that cannot be wiped effectively, physical destruction methods such as shredding or degaussing are employed. CentricsIT provides a certificate of data destruction, providing documented proof of compliance with data protection regulations.

OUR VALUE: A MINDFUL ALTERNATIVE

We Take a Channel-Alternative Approach to Global IT Hardware Sourcing and Procurement

CentricsIT began as a global independent distributor of new and refurbished IT hardware, and we remain a world leader today. When you engage CentricsIT to procure your infrastructure equipment, you gain access to our $10 million inventory and our global purchasing network, a significant portion of which is supplied through ITAD.

Our manufacturer-specific product specialists source hardware on the global IT market every day, which means fair market pricing for our clients that is completely independent of the OEM model.

Purchasing IT hardware on the secondary market offers a more sustainable procurement method compared to traditional sourcing for several compelling reasons. Primarily, it extends the lifecycle of electronic devices, reducing the overall demand for new production.

“The best way to reduce IT waste is to use any product to its maximum lifespan, without compromising on performance. This is easy to do. Many used products are N-1—just one generation back from the latest OEM lines.”

Another benefit of sourcing used IT gear is the near-term availability of the products. “The equipment is in stock and ready to ship—no lead times,” James says. “Especially now, when we’re seeing lead times for new hardware into the hundreds of days, being able to receive what you need overnight is critical.”

Circular Sourcing

Acquiring surplus IT equipment can provide the same technological benefits and reliability as purchasing directly from manufacturers, often at a reduced cost.

This approach not only supports sustainable consumption patterns but also aligns with the principles of a circular economy, where the emphasis is on keeping products in use for as long as possible.

High Global Availability

With more than $10 million of inventory in stock, most quotes can be configured and shipped worldwide within 24–48 hours, eliminating OEM lead times.

Our worldwide footprint is the product of our global trade expertise and experience handling international customs. Our logistics experts and certified customs brokers ensure we can import and export hardware anywhere in the world.

Lower Cost of Ownership

Our independent status means that we are not bound by OEM discount categories, which gives us access to the global marketplace and the best possible pricing.

Altogether, our clients save 50–80% on their hardware purchases versus traditional distribution channels.

Unbiased Recommendations

At CentricsIT, we pride ourselves on being vendor-neutral. We take a consultative approach when making hardware recommendations and offer products from all best-of-breed manufacturers.

CentricsIT is ISO certified, and our engineers put every device through a rigorous inspection as part of our quality control protocols. Each system is configured to the customer’s specifications.
