Case Study: Secure Computer Recycling & Disposal reduces mining-sector carbon emissions with Blancco secure data erasure

Australia’s SCRD Helps Mining Companies Reduce Their Carbon Footprints

Secure Computer Recycling & Disposal (SCRD) helps mining companies in Western Australia meet their environmental goals by securely disposing of end-of-life IT equipment. The challenge was to establish a robust, secure chain of custody and data sanitization process across vast, remote distances, ensuring compliance while avoiding the carbon footprint of equipment destruction.

SCRD implemented Blancco Drive Eraser to provide certified, auditable data erasure. This solution from Blancco allowed SCRD to sanitize equipment for reuse, preventing over five kilotonnes of CO2 emissions in a single year and diverting 94% of e-waste from landfills. This success, powered by Blancco, has made SCRD the flagship ITAD provider for Australia's mining industry.
