Following data sanitization, Lifespan assesses the equipment to determine its potential for reuse. Assets with market value are refurbished and resold through a remarketing program, which is designed as a revenue-sharing model to recover maximum value for the client. For equipment that cannot be resold, the company provides responsible, certified electronics recycling. Lifespan holds key industry certifications, including R2 (Responsible Recycling), which underscores its commitment to environmental and data security standards. Lifespan's clientele consists of organizations with large quantities of IT equipment, often across multiple locations. The company offers customized programs tailored to the specific needs of each organization, from continuous asset retirement plans to occasional pickups. Its services are designed to address the concerns of various internal stakeholders, including IT asset managers, by providing detailed audit reports and integrating disposition data into client asset management systems.
