ITAD Marketing Coalition [IMC]
Compliance Standards LLC is pleased to announce the forthcoming deployment of a new marketing program called ‘ITAD Marketing Coalition’ or IMC. IMC will be launched in the third quarter of 2021 (3Q2021). The program aims at promoting ITAD companies and best practice among an audience of IT managers, leaders and executives interested in IT asset disposition. To learn more, please check the highlights of the program below. To be kept informed on the final details and dates, please click on the button below ‘sign up to remain informed.’
Program Highlights
The highlights below are still general, as Compliance Standards is still establishing the parameters of the program.

Educate users and potential clients
The program will gather information on best practice in the areas of data security, environmental stewardship, operations, and cost/finance. All IMC members will be asked to take part to building a collection of best practice materials that will be used in the IMC campaign.

In our latest client note, we connect data from HPE’s downgrade, Morgan Stanley’s sector-wide hardware warning, and HPE’s own earnings disclosures to five specific operational implications for End-Of-Life service providers, including why linear volume planning is now a liability, where residual value assumptions need to be revised downward, and what phased decommissioning means for how services are structured going forward.
Compliance: Navigating the Post-Basel ITAD Compliance Landscape in 2026
As of Q1 2026, the operating environment that the global ITAD industry was built around has been evolving and materially changing. The Basel Convention’s 2025 amendments have subjected virtually all transboundary e-waste movements to Prior Informed Consent (PIC) procedures, eliminating the permissive classifications that allowed untested equipment to cross borders with minimal scrutiny. Malaysia, until recently the principal global destination for imported e-waste, has imposed an absolute prohibition on all e-waste imports, with the ban was formally gazetted into law on April 1, 2026, removing a critical outlet from the global processing chain overnight. And for enterprises subject to the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, gaps in downstream asset-disposition tracking have now become an audit exposure.
This report analyzes what these developments mean for ITAD operators, enterprise asset managers, and logistics providers, and sets out the contractual, operational, and reporting steps required to remain compliant, auditable, and insurable in this new environment.
