Complete Digital Data Security and Corporate Compliance

IQA Metal Recycling Solutions takes corporate compliance seriously. We offer a complete and secure chain of custody to ensure your assets are fully protected from the time they leave your facility until all digital data has been totally destroyed. Our certified processes, secure facilities and security protocols protect your data, ensure full accountability, and provide accurate, timely and complete reporting, and may include certificates of data destruction.

Equipment received at IQA Metal is weighed at the loading docks for immediate shipment verification and compared to original bill of lading.

Once received, all asset tags and other customer identifying stickers and labels are removed from the computer equipment. These first steps ensure data security and protection of our customers' corporate brand and their company's privacy if the equipment is refurbished and resold.

Confirm that your provider’s quality and environmental certifications are first rate:

Your asset value is maximized because our unique software system and customer portals ensure that you achieve the most value from your recovered assets.

Your brand is protected because every single component of each and every system is tracked from the time we bring the asset into our facility through to its final destination.

IQA Metal is fully committed to upholding the following principles of Responsible Recycling practices:

IQA Metal will not allow any hazardous e-waste we handle or control to be sent to solid waste (non-hazardous waste) landfills or incinerators for disposal or energy recovery, either directly or through intermediaries. 

IQA Metal will  not allow any hazardous e-waste we handle or control to be exported to developing countries, either directly or through intermediaries, throughout final disposition.

IQA Metal will not allow any e-waste we handle to be sent to prisons for recycling either directly or through intermediaries.

IQA Metal is committed to ensuring that the entire recycling chain, including downstream intermediaries and recovery operations are meeting all applicable environmental and health regulations. Every effort will be made to only make use of those facilities (e.g. smelters), which provide the most efficient and least polluting recovery services available globally.
