What is the difference between a consolidator, transporter, processor and asset management service?

There are many International standards and terms that define the different recycling services out there, and as more rules are created, their definitions become more clear.  The expl

What portion of all the technology received by EWA actually gets reused?

Our unusually strong interest in reuse has lead to extraordinary reductions in destructive recycling (also reducing client processing costs).  Our recording process is maticulously detailed so we can analyze exactly how much we do reuse.  We call this analysis a 'Green Report' and copies are provided to the clients whose materials contributed to the results.  One of the most important objective results derived from these reports is a "reuse rate".

What kind of materials reporting does EWA provide to the donor/client?

Our recording process is very thorough and designed not just for our own needs, but with the donor/clients needs as well.

Unlike most recyclers who will provide a rough list of item quantities in vague, generalized terms - we record the item type, manufacturer, serial number and indicate that the item will be reused or destroyed via demanufacturing - we can even record your asset tags if needed.

How does EWA ensure data security for donated technology?

Your technology is stored at our processing facility in a secured area until receiving.  Our receiving process is much more detailed than others.  Every potentially sensitive device (cell phones, computers, storage arrays, smart network device etc) is hand recorded PRIOR to being tested.  The very first step in receiving is to inspect the device for data storage - in the case of a computer, we look for a hard disk drive.
