IT ASSET DISPOSITION

We bring new life to idled IT assets by refurbishing and remarketing them. But when electronics must be recycled, our end-to-life solutions coupled with our technology leadership ensures your e-waste is recycled the right way! You can rest assured that your electronics never end up where they shouldn't. Your brand is safe with us because:

Complete ITAD Portfolio

Our ITAD solution maximizes client asset recovery with a flexible program that is suited to the requirements of their business. Pure Recovery is achieved through comprehensive and secure reverse logistics, inventory management, and disposition reports.

Core Competencies

· Asset Track audit package

· Data erasure, sanitization and destruction

· Remarket equipment and components

· Disassembly for proper material recycling

· Full compliance and indemnification

Secure Destruction Services

As part of our recycling process, we separate all hard drives from the electronics and physically destroy them with a shredding method. Whether a computer comes from a fortune 500 company or the landfill, all hard drives are completely destroyed. By shredding the hard drives, any data contained on the device is completely non-recoverable and complies with data privacy acts such as, FACTA and HIPPA.

Our standard secure destruction service includes:

· When the items arrive to IQA Metal , our screened destruction employees will weigh all the sealed boxes of materials for destruction as a total weight.

· The materials are then shred under surveillance video.

· Certificate of Destruction will sent after destroyed. The Destruction Certificate will include, the total weight of materials destroyed, time duration of destruction and certified destruction employee’s signature.

· IQA Metal can also provide custom reporting for each customer’s specific needs such as S/N, Date Code, etc. Let us know what you need and we can customize reporting

· All shredded material is then 100% recycled

DATA SECURITY & ERASURE SERVICES

Companies across the globe are facing the rigorous and often daunting task of protecting corporate as well as customer data through secure data erasure services. It has been IQA Metal mission since it’s inception to partner with clients on the mission to manage electronics such that no data escape is possible nor permissible.

At IQA Metal data erasure services facilities, a client can be assured that their assets will be received in fully armed, securely monitored, and guarded facilities. Since its inception, IQA Metal has maintained software free facilities. All data devices move under the strictest security to technicians that employ a wholly owned, internally developed configuration and erasure software known as the IQA Metal Shield. The Shield has been forensically tested to guarantee rewrite on any Intel or AMD based system. IQA Metal technicians and management closely monitor and certify this process. With IQA Metal should a sector or drive fail, that drive is immediately removed and physically crushed and shredded.

IQA Metal data erasure service goes beyond compliance to meet and exceed standards to provide complete customer privacy protection in all aspects and on all devices processed. IQA Metal maintains the highest levels of insurance to give clients the extra measure of assurance when trusting the IQA Metal team with sensitive data and data containing devices.

Asset Track

Chain-of-custody is the foundation for ITAD risk management and legal indemnification.

IQA Metal web-based Asset Track is an inventory process for the tracking and settlement of complete units, subassemblies, scrap material, and material for refining. With Asset Track auditing, customers are provided the flexibility of customized reporting, reverse logistics, and the asset management solution suited to their requirements. Real time tracking reports enable viewers to identify when assets are prepared for remarketing or disassembled for recycling. All remarketed, recycled, and destroyed assets are issued the appropriate certificate for your permanent records. Lot Settlements and Downstream Reporting assure environmental compliance, in addition to final disposition of all products redeployed or recycled.

No Hazardous Waste is landfilled

Our compliant, “Zero Waste” environmental management system assures vendors their IT assets are disposed of properly: DE-manufacturing and segregation of material is conducted in DEPT-permitted facilities. Serialization and auditable barcode tracking of product ensures final disposition of all hazardous and non-hazardous material recycled. Your assets are accounted for and potential risk and liability is eliminated.

MOBILITY

BATTERY RECYCLE

IQA Metal runs a comprehensive and effective collection system to gather used lithium-ion batteries and a range of other battery types from diverse sources, spanning consumer electronics, electric vehicles, industrial applications, and beyond. Through our advanced processing methods, we guarantee the secure and environmentally sound disassembly of these batteries. Adhering strictly to top-tier industry norms, we prioritize the protection of our environment and the well-being of our employees.

We employ state-of-the-art refining techniques to retrieve valuable metals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, and other rare materials inherent in batteries. By reclaiming these valuable resources, we significantly diminish the necessity for mining and mitigate the impact on natural ecosystems.

OUR PROCESS

PYROMETALLURGY

In high-temperature pyrometallurgical procedures, metals can be extracted from various battery components. This method is particularly suitable for recycling metals present in battery cathodes and anodes. By subjecting battery components to high temperatures, metals with different melting points can be separated and extracted. While pyrometallurgy is effective for some metals, it demands significant energy and often results in waste production.

HYDROMETALLURGY

Hydrometallurgical processes involve dissolving metals in water and subsequently isolating them from other battery materials. This method offers high selectivity and can be customized for different metals of interest. For instance:

1. Acid Leaching:

Metals in shredded battery materials can be dissolved using acidic solutions, producing a metal-rich leachate that undergoes selective precipitation to extract the metal ions.

2. Solvent Extraction:

Organic solvents are employed to selectively extract metals from the leachate, separating the aqueous and organic phases through liquid-liquid phase separation.

3. Ion Exchange:

Metal ions in solution are exchanged with other ions attached to a solid substance, enabling the selective concentration of desired metals.

ELECTROMETALLURGY

Electrode surfaces are exposed to electrical currents, facilitating the precise deposition and separation of metals. Electrometallurgical processes like electrowinning and electrorefining are utilized to recover metals from batteries with high accuracy.

PRECIPITATION

In the precipitation process, specific chemicals are added to wastewater solutions to solidify metal compounds, enabling their separation from the solution for further processing. Precipitation is often combined with other methods to clean leachate and enhance purification.
