Reviewing your IT Disposal contract

29/10/2024

For IT Managers and Directors, one critical area that demands regular review is their IT Disposal contract.

Ensuring your business rolls out sustainable IT practices

As we forge ahead into Q3, and with 2025 fast approaching, it’s more important than ever to adopt sustainable practices across the business. OCM’s sustainable IT services, and continuing journey towards net zero, deliver eco-friendly technology solutions for all. From buying your redundant kit, to reselling 1 refurbished device or 10s of thousands, the team can support your firm’s transition into greener strategies.

Why review your IT Disposal contract?

The IT disposal contract governs how your organisation manages the end-of-life phase of its technology assets. Beyond just compliance, it represents a strategic opportunity to integrate eco-friendly practices into your business operations. By partnering with a trusted provider like OCM, you can ensure that your disposal practices not only adhere to regulatory standards but also contribute to your broader green strategy.

IT Lifecyle Management

OCM offers a comprehensive solution for organisations looking to responsibly manage their IT assets. We specialise in purchasing unused technology, ensuring that these assets are either refurbished and reused or recycled in an environmentally friendly manner. This process not only helps in reducing e-waste but also provides an opportunity to support your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals.

Through our asset gifting program, OCM can repurpose your surplus equipment by donating it to charities or educational institutions, thereby giving back to the community. Additionally, we manage the entire IT lifecycle, from acquisition and deployment to eventual retirement, ensuring that every stage is handled with care, including an audit trail and certification, and aligned with your sustainability and CSR objectives.

Investing in eco-friendly technology

Investing in eco-friendly technology is not just a trend but a forward-thinking business strategy. Sustainable IT services encompass the responsible management of electronic waste (e-waste) through practices such as recycling and refurbishing. OCM specialises in providing tailored solutions that minimise environmental impact while maximising value recovery from retired IT assets.

The benefits of a green strategy

Integrating a green strategy into your business not only enhances your CSR profile but also brings tangible benefits. Reduced carbon footprint, compliance with environmental regulations and cost savings through efficient resource utilisation are just a few advantages of adopting sustainable IT practices. OCM supports your green strategy by offering comprehensive IT lifecycle management services designed to optimise resource use and minimise waste.

IT Service Delivery Director

“We use OCM as our recycling partner not just because they are good at recycling our unwanted IT equipment or because they follow good practices and standards to ensure we comply with the regulations. For us we use OCM over other recycling companies because of their commitment to raising money for local and national charities. Since our relationship with OCM began many years ago, we have raised tens of thousands of pounds. Our account manager is a pleasure to work with and he has personally helped to raise thousands for a local charity. As a company and as a collection of people, I would highly recommend working with them.”
