In February 2006, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources organized an Electronic Scrap Stakeholder Workgroup to get input on what direction Missouri should take to manage e-scrap. A partnership evolved that includes private, public and nonprofit recyclers, federal, state and local governments, manufacturers, environmental groups and retail organizations. The group decided its goal was to put in place a framework for reusing, recycling and disposing e-scrap in Missouri in an economically sustainable fashion without threatening the environment. This partnership developed a three pronged strategy called e-cycle Missouri:

  • Missouri E-cycling Standards, also known as MOEST – A set of Best Management Practices for electronic equipment recyclers and demanufacturers to help make sure these services protect the environment.
  • Voluntary Tiered Registration Levels – To promote the adoption of MOEST by companies that collect and process e-scrap, four levels of registration were created. Each level represents an increasing commitment to follow MOEST and adopt additional environmental controls. Individuals or businesses can confidently choose a recycler at the registration level that best meets their needs.
  • Education and Outreach – Raising public awareness of the environmental impacts associated with discarded electronics is a key part of the e-cycle Missouri education and outreach activities. These efforts also include the how and where part of the equation by providing the Missouri eCycle website.

Electronics recycling

As new technologies are introduced, the decommissioned equipment must be liquidated. Some of this equipment still has resale value, and can be purchased specifically for resale. However, the reality is that most of this equipment has reached “end of life” with the manufacturer, and the costs of transport, cleaning, and testing the equipment is greater than the potential resale value. Electronics recycling has shown tremendous growth over the past 10 years. Hundreds of organizations and tens of thousands of workers are active in the sector, figures that have been growing over the years as the use of electronics equipment becomes ubiquitous and generalized. Yet targeted incentives and strategies could further stimulate growth. There is a significant opportunity to increase the recycling rates of used electronics, in particular among the residential/household segment. Meanwhile, electronics recyclers continue to operate in a changing business landscape. Key figures based on a survey include:

Approximately 4.5 million tons of electronics were treated by the recycling industry in the U.S. in 2012. More than 62% comes from PC and IT-related equipment. The survey indicates that almost 70% by weight of the 4.5 million output in tonnage was processed domestically into commodity grade scrap, such as steel, aluminum, copper, precious metals recovered from circuit boards, glass, and plastic. The US geography remains the biggest market for survey respondents’ direct output in both weight and value. 78.66% reported that their output was traded, sold and/or transferred within the U.S.

While residential users accounted for the bulk of electronics purchases, their contribution to electronics recycling input was alarmingly low in 2010. Indeed 74.1% of the total input tonnage associated with the survey respondents’ electronics recycling business originated from businesses and commercial entities.From an economic perspective, the industry employs at least 30,000 workers. These are workers active in companies that are defined as “recyclers” or in the recycling units of OEMs. In 2012, the total estimated combined revenue for the industry was $5.2 billion. These figures concern only recycling enterprises, not taking into account the contribution of not-for-profit entities, government agencies, etc. By including these entities, the broad electronics recycling impact is much bigger, with employment potentially as high as 45,000. Yet, the industry faces a set of challenges, including the challenge of stimulating the household/residential sector. For the individual recycling companies it is about managing in a tough economic environment in which operating costs are a problem and the competition to secure adequate volumes of used equipment is often tight and competitive. For the industry as a whole, the challenges include regulatory uncertainty and increased demand for companies to obtain third-party certification. For the recyclers upstream customers, whether it is the OEMs or electronics end-users, it is often about downstream 

Electronic Media Destruction

Since 80% of corporate computers contain sensitive information, you need to be sure the information on your hard drives is safe from thieves. Wiping or degaussing alone is not enough to guarantee the destruction of your sensitive information. Our hard drive destruction service completely destroys the hard drive rending it impossible to recover the information it contained.

How our Secure Hard Drive Destruction Works – Red Leaf provides a secure process to make data irretrievable.

  • Secure chain of custody process
  • A log of manufacturer name and serial number for each device
  • Complete destruction of material – not wiped or degaussed
  • Itemized Certificate of Destruction
  • Recycling by approved partners to reduce your carbon footprint

Data Remanence
harddriveeraseData remanence is the residual representation of digital data that remains even after attempts have been made to remove or erase the data. This residue may result from data being left intact by a nominal file deletion operation, by reformatting of storage media that does not remove data previously written to the media, or through physical properties of the storage medium that allow previously written data to be recovered.​Data remanence may make inadvertent disclosure of sensitive information possible should the storage media be released into an uncontrolled environment (e.g., thrown in the trash, or obtained by a third party). Various techniques have been developed to counter data remanence. These techniques are classified as clearing, purging/sanitizing or destruction. Specific methods include overwriting, degaussing, encryption, and physical destruction.Effective application of countermeasures can be complicated by several factors, including media that are inaccessible, media that cannot effectively be erased, advanced storage systems that maintain histories of data throughout the data’s life cycle, and persistence of data in memory that is typically considered volatile. Several standards exist for the secure removal of data and the elimination of data remanence.
