At Maxicom Global Canada, we believe responsible e-waste management is more than an environmental obligation — it’s a business imperative. As Canada continues to push for more aggressive climate action and sustainable development, companies are under growing pressure to handle their retired IT equipment responsibly. That’s where IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) plays a crucial role. In this blog, we explore how modern ITAD practices are helping Canadian businesses align with national and corporate environmental goals — and how Maxicom is leading that change. Understanding the E-Waste Challenge in Canada E-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world — and Canada is no exception. From laptops and servers to networking gear and mobile devices, retired IT assets often contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium, posing serious environmental and health risks when not properly disposed of. Unfortunately, a significant portion of this waste still ends up in landfills or is exported illegally. That’s why proper e-waste management, supported by certified ITAD providers, is critical to building a sustainable future. The Role of ITAD in Responsible E-Waste Management ✅ Secure Asset Tracking and Recovery At Maxicom, our ITAD services ensure full chain-of-custody tracking and secure recovery of all end-of-life IT assets. Whether your organization is upgrading systems or decommissioning a data center, we make sure nothing goes unaccounted for — reducing risk, waste, and environmental harm. ✅ Eco-Friendly Recycling and Remarketing Instead of contributing to landfill waste, our priority is to extend the lifecycle of IT assets. We refurbish and remarket reusable equipment to reduce demand for new production. For devices that can’t be reused, we partner with certified e-waste recyclers across Canada to ensure ethical and environmentally sound disposal. ✅ Support for Corporate Sustainability Goals Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting is becoming standard practice. Maxicom’s ITAD solutions help companies track their sustainability performance through detailed reporting on carbon offsets, landfill diversion, and recycling rates, supporting your ESG and CSR commitments. Aligning with Canadian Environmental Regulations Canada is tightening its regulations around electronic waste and hazardous materials.
