Hello Colleagues,

A warm welcome to you and wishing you a smooth summer 2023.

Firstly on behalf of Compliance Standards and E-Scrap News, let me thank those of you who took our first ITAD Industry Performance Review and Outlook. This survey closed and we have conducted a Zoom presentation on June 29, 2023. For those who took the survey, you must have received links to access a written analysis, PowerPoint slides and a replay of the Zoom video presentation. If you have not received the links, please check your spambox or send me an email at: DD****@Co******************.com and I will make sure you will get the details.

For those who did not take the survey, I will summarize the findings in one single sentence: the first half of the year was an extraordinarily difficult period for the ITAD sector, but looking ahead, there is plenty of optimism not only among your peers, but we also share the same optimism, albeit we must remain cautious.

In the coming weeks, we plan to release the survey instrument for the second installment, and we sincerely hope we will have the opportunity to welcome those of you who have not participated last month for a broader participation. To be reminded of taking the next survey, please add your email address below.

Thank you for your attention and let’s connect soon.

Questioning Lenovo’s ‘Sustainability-as-a-Service’ Offering

In 2020, an HP paper sought to make its case in favor of printing as a service. The argument was interesting. The paper started by equating the “print-as-a-service” model to subscription services like cable TV or streaming platforms. Over the years, most PC, printers and other IT hardware manufacturers promoted the ‘as-a-service’ model for the obvious reasons. This time, Lenovo is pushing into new territories by promoting “sustainability-as-a-service,’ an offering that is not likely to find an easy path to clients. Although the idea is very interesting, convincing procurement, compliance and finance officers to buy the idea will be extremely difficult.
