quote

“When Air Canada needed to retire more than 500 iPads used by flight crews, Greentec coordinated collection, chain of custody, certified data destruction, lithium-ion battery handling and material recovery. Air Canada reported that outsourcing to Greentec reduced internal workload while meeting security, regulatory and environmental requirements.”

Who Benefits and How

A Program That Works Across the Entire Organization

Enterprise device retirement touches IT, security, legal, finance, sustainability and procurement simultaneously. Here is what a properly run program delivers to each group with a stake in the outcome.

CISO / Information Security

Serialized, certificate-backed proof of destruction for every data-bearing asset, structured to support incident response documentation, legal holds and security audit requirements without manual reconstruction.

IT Director / VP IT

A single coordinated program replacing fragmented regional vendors. One point of contact, standardized procedures across every site and a chain-of-custody record that covers every device from pickup to final disposition.

Chief Compliance Officer / Legal

Audit-ready documentation that satisfies PIPEDA obligations. Certificate-level records that hold up under regulatory review, not just vendor assurances.

CFO / Finance

Value recovery from remarketed equipment returned directly to the organization, creating a measurable financial offset. A single-vendor program also reduces the administrative overhead of managing multiple regional providers.

VP Sustainability / ESG Lead

Recycling weights, CO2e avoidance metrics, landfill diversion rates and material recovery data delivered with each completed program, formatted for ESG disclosures, sustainability reports and board-level environmental commitments.

Procurement / Vendor Management

OECM awarded supplier status gives eligible organizations a competitively procured route to engagement. A single accountable vendor across all Canadian locations simplifies contract management and audit trails.

The Enterprise Compliance Shift

Why Certified ITAD Is Now a Business-Critical Requirement

Data breach liability, tightening privacy regulation and growing ESG disclosure requirements have converged. An informal approach to device retirement no longer passes regulatory review, legal scrutiny or investor expectations.

CAD $6.94M

CAD $6.94M

Average total cost of a data breach in Canada in 2024, per IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report. Retired devices with unverified data destruction are a documented breach vector.

Platinum OECM Partner

Platinum OECM Partner

Greentec is a Platinum-level OECM supplier partner. Eligible organizations can procure certified ITAD through a competitively awarded agreement, without a standalone RFP, and work with a single accountable vendor across Canadian locations.

Multi-Site Gap

Multi-Site Gap

Enterprises with offices, branches, data centres and remote workers across Canada typically have no standardized ITAD process, creating compliance gaps that no single regional vendor can close.

The Problem

The Hidden Liability in Every Retired Device

Large organizations retire thousands of devices every year through a mix of regional vendors, internal disposal and ad hoc drop-off programs. Each handoff is an uncontrolled gap in the audit trail and a potential breach point.

Corporate and Customer Data on Retired Devices

Corporate and Customer Data on Retired Devices

Laptops, servers, mobile devices and storage drives leaving an enterprise carry confidential business data, employee records and customer information. A missing chain-of-custody record cannot be reconstructed after the fact, and regulators do not accept good intentions as evidence.

Fragmented Multi-Vendor Programs

Fragmented Multi-Vendor Programs

Most large organizations manage device retirement through a patchwork of regional vendors, internal IT disposal and ad hoc drop-off programs. Each handoff is a gap in documentation and a potential breach point. One accountable provider across all locations changes the risk profile entirely.

Audit Failures from Missing Documentation

Audit Failures from Missing Documentation

When a compliance audit or legal hold requires evidence of how a specific device was disposed of, a Certificate of Recycling from a third-party vendor with no serialized asset records is not sufficient. Enterprise ITAD requires device-level documentation, not load-level.

Greentec operates as a single accountable provider across all locations. One program, one contact, one chain-of-custody record for every device across every site.

PIPEDA

Federal PIPEDA governs how organizations handle personal information, including obligations that apply at end-of-life device disposal.
