Data Destruction Options
Your company relies on tape to protect its digital assets and you must manage tape securely throughout its entire life cycle.
At end-of-life you have important decisions to make regarding the secure decommissioning and disposal of assets.
Physical destruction of assets may appear to offer the least risk; but it is costly and negatively impacts the environment.
Recycling media is a secure, compliant and no-cost alternative which saves money and greatly reduces the impact on the environment.
Tape recycling should only be handled by a trusted service provider who can guarantee secure transport, chain-of-custody documentation, 100% erasure, compliance, security and the auditing requirements of your organization.

Environmentally Friendly
70% of toxic waste is comprised of electronic hardware.
http://www.theworldcounts.com/stories/Electronic-Waste-Facts
•Tape media is not biodegradable making it a challenge to dispose of responsibly
•Plastic and metal components are destined to become solid waste and sit in landfills for hundreds of years.
•The best landfills are not completely tight throughout their lifetimes and a certain amount of chemical and metal leaching will occur
•Another risk is that tape media might end up in an illegal land fill or be incinerated, releasing toxic material into the atmosphere
•Low cost bidders for media disposal, for example, may be working through brokers to send media to developing countries or to illegal waste dumps in the to reduce disposal costs, so be careful!
