The Blockchain Revolution Is Coming To ITAD. Are You Making Plans?

Everyone knows that Blockchain is transforming global supply chains, but it’s also driving the next generation internet. Industry blockchains will soon overlay “the internet,” changing the face of e-commerce. Interoperability standards will soon allow industries to digitally connect their supply chains.   Will ITAD get left behind? 

The "Open Blockchain for Asset Disposition Alliance" (OBADA) is an open-source protocol that “gets us on the same blockchain”. It also gives our industry a “voice” in determining how outside supply chains will connect to the ITAD ecosystem. Learn about OBADA, the Pilot Program, and be ready when blockchain starts to roll out in 2020.

Get Ready for R2 Revision 3

R2 Rev 3 is set to shake up certification for most ITAD businesses. With new requirements assessing the competence of test and repair staff, more stringent verification of testing methods and equipment as well as an increase in requirements for data sanitization means that most R2 Certified businesses would now fail the updated R2 certification. 

Bob McCarthy, VP of Business Development at Cobalt Recycling has dedicated a wealth of resources in fully understanding and implementing R2 Rev3 with his ITAD team. Bob will explain exactly what Rev3 means for your business and how to implement it. And with many businesses set to lose their R2 certification shortly, you will learn just how you can position yourself to take full advantage of this change in the market.
