Electronics Recycling Laptop RecyclingGreentec destroys data through two NAID AAA-certified methods: software erasure to NIST 800-88 for devices with remaining value, and physical shredding to 9-20mm fragments for zero-recovery assurance. Every device receives a certificate tied to its serial number. Zero data breaches in 30+ years of operation.

Maximum fragment size from Greentec's industrial shredders
Not every device should be destroyed the same way. Greentec applies the method that matches each device's condition and your security requirements, with the same NAID AAA chain of custody applied to both.
Software-based sanitization for reusable assets
Licensed software overwrites every sector of a storage device, permanently removing all data with no possibility of recovery. Every device is audited and tracked from pickup through final sanitization. Those that pass receive a Certificate of Data Erasure linked to their serial number. Devices that fail the wipe process are automatically routed to physical destruction.
Certificate of Data Erasure issued per device, including make, model, serial number, and time of sanitization.
Best for
Functional devices with remaining resale or reuse value: laptops, desktops, servers, tablets, mobile phones, and storage drives that power on and operate normally.
Key Advantage
The device survives the process. Wiped assets are eligible for refurbishment and remarketing, which turns a disposition cost into a measurable financial return.
The drive must be operational. Devices that will not power on cannot be software-wiped and are automatically sent for physical destruction.
Industrial shredding for zero-recovery assurance
Industrial shredders reduce hard drives, SSDs, magnetic tapes, optical media, and other storage to fragments of 9 to 20mm, eliminating any possibility of data recovery. Devices are audited and sealed for transport before destruction. Materials are then separated into base recyclables including steel, aluminum, copper, circuit boards, and plastics, all processed through Greentec's R2v3-certified downstream recycling channels.
Certificate of Destruction issued per device, including services performed, time of destruction, make, model, and serial number.
Best for
Devices that cannot be wiped (dead, damaged, or non-functional media), drives subject to the strictest security requirements, and organizations whose policies require physical destruction regardless of device status.
Key Advantage
Nothing left to recover. Physical destruction removes all ambiguity about whether data still exists, providing absolute assurance for government, defence, finance, and healthcare environments.
The device is permanently destroyed and has no resale value. Physical shredding is the right choice when security requirements outweigh asset recovery.
The chain of custody is what turns a destruction event into a defensible compliance record. Greentec's process documents every transfer, every seal, and every device through to the final certificate.
Every device is inventoried, serial numbers recorded, and assets tagged before anything moves. Nothing enters the chain without a documented record.
Assets are sealed in tamper-evident containers and tracked throughout transport. Security-vetted Greentec technicians handle the load from pickup to processing.
Each device is processed by the method appropriate to its condition and your security requirements: certified erasure for functional devices, physical shredding for everything else.
A Certificate of Data Erasure or Certificate of Destruction is issued for every device, tied to its serial number, with the time of destruction recorded.
A detailed audit report covering the full program is delivered with the certificates, structured for internal compliance records, regulatory submissions, and board-level reporting.
Secure data destruction is part of a documented program, not a one-off service. Every engagement runs through the same five-step process, from initial discovery to final certified reporting.
Any organization that handles personal, sensitive, or regulated data has an obligation to prove how that data was destroyed. Greentec's certified program gives every sector the documentation its regulators expect.
Federal and provincial requirements, including CSEC destruction guidelines for classified and sensitive government systems.
Student records, employee files, and research data destroyed in compliance with FIPPA and PIPEDA, with certificates on file for audits.
Patient records and health information destroyed to the highest standard, with documentation supporting PHIPA and provincial privacy obligations.
Certified destruction of client data, trading records, and proprietary information, with the chain-of-custody documentation regulators require.
Any vendor can claim their process is secure. Greentec's QEHS management system is independently audited through five separate certifications covering data destruction, environmental handling, quality systems, and employee safety.
The gold standard for certified data destruction. Requires scheduled and unannounced audits of operations, staff, and equipment, on an ongoing rather than one-time basis.
Responsible recycling certification governing how materials recovered from physically destroyed devices are handled downstream.
Certified quality management system ensuring consistent, audit-ready documentation and process controls across every destruction engagement.
Certified environmental management system controlling the environmental impact of all operations, including downstream handling of destroyed device materials.
Certified occupational health and safety management covering the people who handle and destroy your assets at every stage of the process.
NAID AAA is the gold standard certification for data destruction, requiring scheduled and unannounced audits of destruction processes, staff, and equipment on an ongoing basis. Greentec has been NAID AAA certified since 1995, with zero data breaches in 30+ years of certified operations.
Data erasure uses licensed software to overwrite every sector of an operational drive to NIST 800-88, leaving the device intact and eligible for refurbishment and resale. Physical shredding reduces the device to 9-20mm fragments, eliminating any possibility of recovery but destroying its resale value. Both run under the same NAID AAA chain of custody.
Yes. Every device receives a Certificate of Data Erasure or Certificate of Destruction tied to its serial number, including make, model, services performed, and the time of sanitization or destruction. A detailed audit report covering the full program accompanies the certificates.
Software-based sanitization is performed to NIST 800-88 and DoD 5220.22-M standards under NAID AAA-certified procedures. Devices that fail the wipe process are automatically routed to physical destruction.
Choose shredding for devices that cannot be wiped (dead, damaged, or non-functional media), drives subject to the strictest security requirements, or when your organization's policy requires physical destruction regardless of device status. Choose erasure when functional devices have remaining resale or reuse value.
Greentec's standard program uses tamper-evident sealed transport handled by security-vetted technicians from pickup to processing. Contact Greentec to discuss onsite destruction options for programs with specific security requirements.
Shredded materials are separated into base recyclables (steel, aluminum, copper, circuit boards, and plastics) and processed through Greentec's R2v3-certified downstream recycling channels.
Yes. Greentec's program supports federal and provincial requirements, including CSEC destruction guidelines for classified and sensitive government systems.
Every device. Every serial number. Every certificate. Contact Greentec to build a certified data destruction program that closes the compliance gap and gives you documentation that holds up in an audit. NAID AAA Certified.
