Recycling
Computers Are Piling Up
A Problem … and an Opportunity!
Consumer electronics and stored data devices represent the fastest-growing waste stream on the planet. The statistics are overwhelming.
- Individuals and companies in the United States dispose of more than 100 million PCs and laptops every year.
- More than 67 million unused or obsolete PCs and laptops are sitting in storage in U.S. homes today due to the lack of an easy, safe and low-cost disposal solution. This number is expected to reach 120 million within the next two years.
- More than 300 million cell phones and PDAs in the United States become obsolete every year.
The bottom line is that we have a huge and growing global problem that begs a very important question: What can we do with all our unused and obsolete electronics? While many consumers and businesses would like to reuse, donate or recycle their devices, the risk of data theft or misuse is simply too high. The absence of a guaranteed method for deleting information is what prevents most people from choosing a green solution. Consequently, much of this equipment either ends up in landfills or piles up while companies wait for a safe disposal method to come along. Federal and state governments as well as private groups are pushing for environmentally conscientious disposal methods and recycling requirements. Government entities, manufacturers, consumers and businesses must now find a way to develop and implement such methods.
The Solution
nexGrën’s team of experienced, successful and proven technologists and businesspeople is committed to this goal. We bring green-enabling technologies to the marketplace and develop software that plays a major role in recycling initiatives. Our solutions begin by addressing any sensitive data on a device’s drive. Our patented and proprietary software technology completely removes every file and piece of data on a hard drive, leaving the drive and the entire system devoid of any information, confidential or otherwise. Our technology is so powerful that it has been approved and used by the DoD for removal of secret-level information. Once a drive is cleared of data, it can be safely reused, donated or recycled. Our solutions are easy to use and guaranteed to work.
nexGrën technology is supported by a 24/7 technical support team that can diagnose problems, answer questions and address concerns, all in one phone call or on the Internet.
nexGrën® or nexGreen Solutions® was established to offer our clients a comprehensive capability by combining our patented data distruction and data protection processes with system recycling. This approach is also part of our nexgrën® or nexgreen technologies® initative. |
