ITAD Conference Agenda

Key takeaways for the audience:

• The conflict in practice: how WEEE-driven collection flows collide with GDPR and other worldwide data-protection obligations, creating a responsibility gap where recyclers often inherit the risk by default.
• Good practices: simple, realistic operational controls to manage data-bearing devices (segregation, chain-of-custody, appropriate destruction methods) while preserving recycling value.
• Business reality: whether data-destruction work is actually compensated, how it impacts customer trust and acquisition, and practical lessons learned from operating both a data-destruction division and a refining/recycling operation.
