Redemtech is an outsource leader in TCM (Technology Change Management) solutions that is revolutionizing IT asset recovery, data security and computer recycling for major, privacy regulated companies worldwide.

Raising the Bar for Environmental Stewardship – Again

Redemtech, the innovative leader that is revolutionizing asset recovery, continues to set new performance and regulatory compliance standards that benefit major companies worldwide. Announcements of its most recent and significant achievements, include:

ISO 14001

Pursuant to obtaining ISO 14001 certification, Redemtech has developed its environmental management program to significantly exceed environmental standards required by law. This extra margin of comfort not only avoids e-waste regulatory nightmares, it also helps major companies implement socially responsible practices that protect both the company and accountable executives from huge legal liabilities and negative publicity.

Recycler’s Pledge

Many recyclers apply for acceptance – but few are awarded this recognition. Redemtech’s signing of The Electronics Recycler's Pledge of True Stewardship has been approved by the Computer Takeback Campaign officials which include the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition (SVTC) and the Basel Action Network (BAN).

Like ISO, this is another independent third party that polices responsible recyclers to uphold the world’s most rigorous mandates for dismantling and recycling of e-waste – one of the fastest growing parts of America’s waste stream.

In achieving acceptance of this Pledge, Redemtech once again demonstrates why it is the only resource that can guarantee Savings … Security … and Peace of Mind. Worldwide.

Driving Increased Donations to Charitable Recipients

As the first commercial Community Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (Community MAR) in North America, Redemtech is helping to create an efficient channel for used computers stockpiled in corporate enterprises to reach needy schools, nonprofits and charities across the globe.

The Community MAR program is designed to increase the number of PCs available to charities by significantly reducing prohibitive operating system costs. In achieving MAR, Redemtech can install select versions of the Windows® operating system for a nominal administration fee. Not-for-profit demand for good low- or no-cost working computers is significant, estimated at 28 million in the United States alone.

The Community MAR program is administered by TechSoup, a technology Web site for nonprofits created by CompuMentor. Redemtech has teamed with TechSoup to launch the Recycled Computer Initiative (RCI) and increase corporate donations of used computers. As part of this initiative, Redemtech now offers free asset recovery and recycling services to charitable organizations that receive donated technology, helping our clients to absolve e-waste liability concerns at end of life.

Providing the automated processing and data security required for regulatory compliance, plus free recycling services, Redemtech is making charitable donation a win-win for business and the community … and benefiting the environment as well by giving new life to computers that may otherwise be destined for disposal.

Increasing Reuse, PC Lifecycles and Customer Value

An evolution of Redemtech’s relationship with Microsoft, the new Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (MAR) program is tailored to the needs of large refurbishers, like Redemtech, that want to deliver preinstalled genuine Windows XP software licenses on refurbished PCs sold in the commercial market.

Redemtech had been asking Microsoft for a program like MAR that gives enterprises and consumers similar low-cost opportunities for license compliance that schools and non-profits currently enjoy through the Community MAR program. Now, Redemtech can fully refurbish laptops and desktops with genuine Microsoft software:

  • Brings you even higher return on remarketed assets
  • Provides better equipment for redeployment - reducing new purchase costs
  • Offers ready supply and low-cost alternative for day-to-day demand and special projects

The MAR program provides for the choice of either Windows XP Professional Edition or Windows XP Home Edition operating systems, includes a new Certificate of Authenticity (COA), Recovery Media pack and an End User License Agreement (EULA) in a slim-line DVD case, plus web-based support services, access to downloads, updates and enhanced features from Microsoft.

Redemtech was one of a select group of refurbishers chosen by Microsoft to launch this program, demonstrating the requisite capabilities including:

  • A track record of supplying an average of 5,000 refurbished PCs per month
  • The technical competence required to preinstall Windows operating systems
  • Appropriate security measure in place to ensure the safe storage and handling of COAs
  • Adequate systems for data wiping and reporting, including conformance to Department of Defense (DoD) or similar data wiping standard
  • Conformance with applicable local health, safety and environmental regulations
