Data security is an essential aspect of IT for organizations of every size and type. Data security is also known as information security (IS) or computer security.

Divers Group are specialists in secure IT Asset Disposal to provide safe, legal and responsible disposal, reuse and recycling of computer equipment and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

They promote the reuse of used IT assets and aim to maximise the value of redundant computer and IT equipment, helping reduce the cost of computer disposal and recycling and to protect the environment.

In many cases they can provide clients with a financial return through remarketing the used equipment. Where the items have no market value they can ensure the items are e-wasted ethically – with less than 2% making landfill.

According to a report compiled by environmental consultancy group Eunomia, Germany is the top recycler, followed by Austria, South Korea, Wales and Switzerland. Where New Zealand sits internationally is hard to determine. According to the Ministry for the Environment, New Zealand sends around 2.5 million tonnes of waste to landfill, or over a tonne of rubbish per household. The majority of this waste is not reprocessed or recycled and does not break down over time. Several countries have adopted ambitious targets to eliminate waste. Wales has the ambition to be a zero-waste nation by 2050.

The EU is likely to adopt a new 2030 target. For ICT assets that have no re-sale value, Divers Group send them to their accredited partners who disassemble and sort the parts for recycling. They follow the international and local regulations for safe disposal of electronic waste and uses only accredited E-waste recyclers.
