Sims Lifecycle Services Listed as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® “Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition”
This marks our fifth inclusion in the “Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition”
According to Gartner, “Sustainability requirements are compounding the ongoing ITAD challenges of data security and sound reuse/recycling. Sourcing, procurement and vendor management leaders can use this Market Guide to navigate the ITAD market, assess growing compliance risks and identify representative ITAD providers.”
"In our view, being included again as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® “Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition” is not just a recognition, it’s a validation of our commitment to excellence and innovation in IT asset disposition,” notes
While inadequate data security and environmentally harmful recycling continue to be the biggest risks within the ITAD market, the report focuses largely on the financial and environmental advantages of device reuse and states that “ITAD is increasingly focused on the environmental sustainability benefits of extending the lifecycle of technology assets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and e-waste.”
Refurbishment and redeployment of IT devices is expected to increase as organizations more fully recognize the carbon avoidance realized versus recycling. “ITAD,” the report maintains, “is crucial for IT sustainability, mitigating Scope 3 emissions and supporting the circular economy.” Gartner urges corporations to utilize industry-best ITAD vendors to “leverage the superior environmental sustainability (and budget) characteristics of asset reuse as your primary disposition process.”
