Environmental recycling Whether a company sells, donates or disposes of old IT equipment, it encounters two major problems: how to securely remove all data and proprietary software, and also how to make sure it doesn't contaminate the environment. AMC focuses on these two crucial points. At AMC, being environmentally conscious is paramount. AMC's in-house environmental engineer is responsible for implementing all recycling procedures that must comply to government environmental regulations as well as adhere to electronics recycling associations guidelines. Many computer
parts contain toxic elements that are potentially damaging to the
environment. Legally, the lead and mercury found in CPUs and monitors
are considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly.
All products which are not suitable for reuse are properly disposed
of in the most environmentally-friendly manner possible. The initial disassembling occurs at our own site before distributing the parts to the appropriate recyclers. We make sure that all items that are disassembled will go only to certified recyclers. Downstream accountability is the focus for recycling any items. All materials that leave our premises for recycling are given only to our certified partners who fill the following requirements:
Our environmental engineer will ensure that you will also receive a certificate of recycling and destruction as well as a detailed disposition report, guaranteeing that all materials down the line will be handled within our strict criterias. Our engineer is also responsible for periodically auditing our recycling partners to make sure that our requirements and criteria are continually complied with.
