Electronics Recycling Laptop RecyclingGreentec is Canada's most certified ITAD provider, trusted by leading post-secondary institutions. As the first company in Canada to achieve R2v3 certification and an OECM awarded supplier, Greentec secures research data, destroys student records properly, returns value through device remarketing and delivers the ESG metrics universities need for STARS reporting.
Trusted by Canadian post-secondary institutions since 1995.
Typical research computing refresh cycle at Canadian universities, driving a continuous wave of retiring servers, workstations and storage that carry sensitive research data.
Ontario's strengthened privacy framework requires demonstrable, auditable proof of destruction for student and employee records. A verbal assurance from a recycler is not sufficient.
AASHE's updated STARS framework increases weighting for documented waste diversion, CO2e avoidance and responsible e-waste disposal, making certified ITAD reporting directly credit-eligible.
Lab servers and research computing infrastructure leave the building carrying unpublished findings, grant-funded intellectual property and authentication credentials. A missing chain-of-custody record cannot be reconstructed after the fact.
Equipment accumulates across IT, departments, libraries, laboratories and administrative offices with no single responsible owner. Without a coordinated program, retirements happen informally and leave compliance gaps that surface during audits.
Retired devices hold student files, employee records, health and accessibility information and authentication data. FIPPA and PIPEDA both require demonstrable proof of destruction, not an assurance from whoever picked up the equipment.
Server rooms and research computing infrastructure cleared through secure extraction, sealed transport and certified destruction. Full chain-of-custody documentation from cabinet to final disposition, with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
NIST 800-88 certified erasure for reusable devices; physical destruction for drives that cannot be verified clean. Onsite destruction available when data-bearing equipment cannot leave campus intact. Witnessed seal breaking on request.
Coordinated pickups across distributed campuses, faculties and off-campus sites. GPS-tracked sealed transport, security-vetted technicians and scheduling built around your academic calendar and exam periods.
Recycling weights, CO2e avoidance metrics, diversion rates and serialized asset records structured for STARS submissions, institutional sustainability reports and board-level environmental disclosure, delivered with every completed program.
Campus battery collection bins, charging equipment, cables, peripherals and lab electronics collected in the same logistics footprint as device pickups. Greentec coordinates Call2Recycle-compliant downstream battery recycling.
Independently audited to the highest data destruction standard in the industry through scheduled and unannounced inspections, so your institution does not have to take Greentec's word for the quality of the work.
Greentec was the first company in Canada to achieve R2v3 certification, in 2022, the leading standard for responsible electronics refurbishment and recycling. This is the certification that makes STARS-eligible recycling documentation credible.
Certified quality management system ensuring consistent, audit-ready processes and documentation on every engagement.
Certified environmental management system controlling environmental impact across every stage of operations, plus Ontario MOECC Environmental Compliance Approval under permit 6247-6VDJUA.
Certified occupational health and safety management system protecting the people who handle your assets throughout the disposition process.
Serving Canadian education and public-sector clients since 1995, with no reported data breach across three decades of device disposition.
Device disposal at a university is a data-protection obligation, not a routine facilities task. Greentec's certified chain of custody gives institutions the documentation that regulators and auditors require.
Ontario universities and colleges are subject to FIPPA, which governs the handling and destruction of personal information including student records, employee files, health and accessibility data and research data. Federal PIPEDA obligations apply to personal information held in a commercial context. Greentec's NAID AAA process and certificates provide the auditable proof of destruction these frameworks require.
Greentec is an awarded supplier under OECM's current Electronic Device Disposal and Recycling Services agreement. Ontario colleges and universities can engage Greentec directly through this competitively procured agreement without conducting a separate full RFP process, significantly reducing procurement lead time for institutions that need to act quickly on a device retirement backlog.
