IT devices and equipment contain toxic substances like lead, mercury, cadmium, polybrominated flame retardants, barium and lithium. If not properly handled, these toxic substances can leach into soil or pollute our air and water supplies. It is thus vital that end-of-life IT equipment be only handled by trusted, professional recycling companies like METech to ensure that there is proper recycling of the IT equipment.

IT equipment usually has memory devices in them that store sensitive and private data. The proper disposal of IT equipment also entails the proper and secure destruction of such data in line with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
