// FOR ESG, PROCUREMENT & IT LEADERS

ESG isn't a report.
It's a supply chain decision.

Where your retired IT goes is an ESG decision you're making —
whether you realize it or not.
// EVERY RETIRED DEVICE TAKES ONE OF THREE PATHS

Your ITAD program is
your ESG footprint.

The path you pick determines what shows up in your ESG report —
and what doesn't.
Path 1 · The Unknown
The unknown downstream
A local recycler picks it up, sends a certificate, and the trail goes cold. What was resold? What was scrapped? What's missing from your Scope 3? No one can answer.
Path 2 · Old Donations
The charity box
Old laptops to a local nonprofit. Feels good, but it's an imperfect solution. Data-security risk, no verified chain of custody.
Path 3 · Circular
The loop
Certified refurbishment, verified resale, material recovery, and measurable carbon offset. ESG impact on every pickup.
01 / 07THE COMPLIANCE FLOOR

Certifications that back the claim.

Anyone can talk about sustainability.
These are the audits that make it real.
R2v3
Global standard for responsible electronics recycling — environmental, safety, downstream accountability.
NAID AAA
Highest standard for secure data destruction — scheduled and unannounced audits of every process.
RIOS
Integrated quality, environmental, and health & safety management at the facility level.
PA DEP
Pennsylvania DEP permitted recycler — state-level compliance under the Covered Device Recycling Act.

// 02 / 07 · THE SUSTAINABILITY HIERARCHY

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
We're there every step of the way.

CyberCrunch provides real support for every tier of the EPA hierarchy.
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Reduce · the best ESG outcome is a device you don't buy
Warranty & repair assessments · redeployment recommendations
We test existing hardware for condition, repair viability, and warranty status — and tell you what's worth redeploying. Every redeployed device is one you don't have to buy new.
Reuse · second life through certified remarketing
Wipe · test · grade · resell
Retired assets are NIST 800-88 wiped, functionally tested, cosmetically graded, and resold into certified secondary markets — extending useful life and sharing residual value with you.
Recycle · zero-landfill material recovery
R2v3-certified downstream · raw material recovery
What can't be reused is recycled under R2v3 — metals, glass, plastics, rare earth materials recovered into the raw material supply. Landfill is never the answer.
// 03 / 07 · THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Retired doesn't mean finished.

◆ FROM PICKUP TO RESALE TO MATERIAL RECOVERY — IN ONE LOOP ◆
04 / 07THE OLD DONATE-IT MODEL IS BROKEN

"We donate our old laptops" isn't a strategy.

The good intention is real.
Three structural problems are even more real.
01
Beneficiaries don't always need old tech
A load of old equipment isn't always helpful or needed — it's a problem to manage. Schools and nonprofits need current hardware, not your refresh leftovers.
02
Data security risk on uncertified donations
Without NIST 800-88 wipe and serialized certificates, every donated device is a potential HIPAA, PCI, or FERPA exposure waiting to surface.
03
No verified chain of custody
Once you hand the boxes off, you have no proof of where devices ended up or how they were processed. Auditors notice.
// 05 / 07

The CyberCrunch Foundation

Route the value to where you want it.
A portion of the residual value of resold equipment goes to a charitable cause of your choice — not old hardware that might not be needed or used.
"Not just old tech. Real value, routed exactly where you direct it."
06 / 07MEASURED. REPORTED. AUDIT-READY.

If it's not measured, it's not ESG.

Every pickup generates the data your sustainability team actually needs to report.
Zero landfill
99.6% landfill diversion
Of every pickup by weight, across R2v3-certified downstream processing.
Scope 3 ready
CO₂e reporting, per unit
Scope 3 Category 5 reporting, automated — by device, category, and recycling method.
Every pickup
Material recovery tracked
Every e-waste category — weighed, logged, reported, and tracked to its downstream endpoint.
07 / 07WHAT YOUR ESG PROGRAM ACTUALLY GETS

A complete ESG outcome, not a checkbox.

Audit-ready reporting
Scope 3, diversion, recovery — all in one portal, all aligned to your reporting framework.
Certified destruction
NIST 800-88 + NAID AAA serialized COD. Every data device tracked end-to-end.
Measurable impact
Landfill avoided, carbon offset, lifecycle extended — quantified per pickup.
Value you control
Residual value flows back to you — as revenue, or as funding to a cause you choose.
