When Jon Nappa started Bruin in 2004, the electronics recycling industry had a problem that nobody was talking about.

Most recyclers were one-time vendors. You called them, they picked up your old equipment, and you never heard from them again. There was little concern about data security or compliance documentation. There was no transparency around whether your equipment ended up in a landfill, was recovered, or responsibly recycled.

Jon saw that gap and decided to build something different.

Healthcare organizations handle some of the most sensitive data on the planet: patient records, medical histories, insurance information, and genetic data. A single data breach can expose thousands of patients and trigger regulatory fines that cripple operations.

What many healthcare IT leaders don't realize is that improper e-waste disposal is one of the most common vectors for healthcare data breaches. Read on to learn about HIPAA compliance and e-waste management in the healthcare industry.

When it comes to managing retired IT equipment, the terms "ITAD" and "e-waste recycling" are often used interchangeably. However, these two represent fundamentally different approaches to asset management. Understanding the distinction can help your organization make smarter decisions about data security, environmental responsibility, and cost recovery.

As technology advances, companies must keep up to remain secure, compliant, and efficient. Upgrading one’s IT infrastructure is an important, daunting project for maintenance and strategic reasons, and spring is the perfect time to execute this IT asset refresh.

Here is why an IT asset refresh matters, and why your company might be due for one this spring.

In the digital age, upgrading IT equipment is essential. However, most people neglect an equally important aspect of this upgrade. When you retire old devices, the waste doesn't just disappear. Piles of old laptops, keyboards, sound systems, and appliances don't vanish; they become someone else's problem. Worse, they could be legal liability. Here's what your electronics waste is costing you, and what you can do about it.
