Core offering

EPC Global Solutions provides end-to-end IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services for enterprises decommissioning IT equipment. Core offerings include Data Security (certified data erasure, degaussing, and physical destruction of HDDs and SSDs), Remarketing (refurbishment and resale of retired IT assets with a 90% remarketing rate), Managed Logistics (collection, transport, chain-of-custody), Electronics Recycling (no-landfill e-waste processing), and IT Management Solutions covering the full IT lifecycle. The company operates 20+ processing facilities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific and serves nearly 70 countries.

Product overview

EPC Global Solutions is a premium IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) service provider offering a unified platform of end-of-life IT management services. The core offering consists of five interconnected service modules: Data Security (encompassing data wiping, erasure, degaussing, and hard drive/SSD shredding), Remarketing Services, Managed Logistics, Electronics Recycling, and IT Management Solutions. A key differentiator is the proprietary On-Site Data Destruction service utilizing mobile Data Destruction and Recycling Vehicles (DDRV) that perform shredding at customer facilities. The services work together to provide a complete lifecycle solution: organizations decommission IT assets, EPC securely destroys data or wipes for remarketing, logistics are managed for transport, functional equipment is remarketed to recover value, and end-of-life materials are recycled with a strict no-landfill policy. The company operates globally across multiple regions with consistent, certified processes.
