ITAD services we provide

Secure decommissioning and logistics

We arrange on-site pickup and collection, asset labeling with serial capture, secure packaging (tamper-evident where expected), and controlled transportation from your office or in-house data center.

Why ITAD

Why ITAD matters

IT asset disposition is increasingly important for businesses in regulated markets. Information technology assets hold sensitive data requiring professional disposal.

APPI

Reduce compliance risk

Documented data erasure and auditable chain-of-custody protect you from regulatory exposure. Business operators in Japan must prevent information leaks as required by the APPI.

ROI

Recover hidden value

Eligible assets are graded, refurbished, and remarketed — turning retired IT into measurable returns.

ESG

Meet ESG commitments

Proper electronic waste processing supports sustainability reporting and ESG initiatives.

1 PM

Simplify IT retirement

One partner manages pickup, data erasure service, recycling, and reporting — so your team stays focused on operations.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about our ITAD services. Contact us for anything else.

01

How fast can you arrange a pickup?

Tokyo metro pickups within a few business days. For secure facilities, we align to your change calendar and access rules.

02

Can you destroy data on-site?

Yes. On-site data erasure and destruction is available for immediate risk removal. Secure facility processing with certificates is typically more cost-effective.

03

What about value recovery?

Eligible devices are graded for refurbishment and remarketing after verified data erasure, with clear reporting on reuse versus recycling outcomes.

04

Do you handle multi-country projects?

Yes. One project manager, consistent templates, and consolidated reporting across Japan, APAC, and the US.

05

Can you work in secure facilities?

Yes. We follow your security rules and design the chain-of-custody steps to support audits.
