End-to-end IT asset disposition for India enterprises.
ITAD is more than just data destruction or buyback — it's a managed lifecycle from refresh planning to disposition reporting. We provide the strategy, the execution, the documentation, and the reporting suitable for ESG / Scope-3 audit trails.
Phases of an end-to-end ITAD engagement
- ♦ Refresh planning: timing, scope, asset classes, sites.
- ♦ Statement of Work + per-asset disposition decision.
- ♦ Pickup logistics: locked transit, multi-site coordination if needed.
- ♦ Data destruction to NIST 800-88 + IEEE 2883-2022 per device.
- ♦ Asset recovery: refurbish, remarket, or destroy — chosen per device.
- ♦ Settlement: INR-denominated buyback proceeds.
- ♦ Reporting: per-asset disposition report; carbon-footprint estimate for ESG / Scope-3 trails.
ESG / Scope-3 reporting baked in.
Corporate ESG teams increasingly need Scope-3 emissions data on IT-asset disposition. Refurbish-and-remarket has a much lower embodied-carbon impact than landfill or destruction-only. Our per-job report includes a per-asset disposition decision and an estimated avoided-emissions calculation suitable for inclusion in your Scope-3 trail.
This is a methodology-based estimate, not a third-party-audited figure — clearly labelled as such in the report.
Avoided-emissions estimates for corporate sustainability disclosure.
Modern corporate ESG reporting expects Scope-3 emissions data on IT-asset disposition — specifically the avoided-emissions story from refurbish-and-remarket vs landfill or destruction-only. The methodology isn't standardised globally yet but the typical inputs are: embodied-carbon estimate per asset class (e.g. CO2-equivalent per server / per laptop / per drive), refurbishment residual-life multiplier (a refurbished server avoids the embodied carbon of a new replacement for the duration of its second life), and depreciation against actual secondary-life utilisation.
Our per-job ESG appendix uses methodology aligned with the GHG Protocol Scope-3 Category 5 (Waste Generated in Operations) reporting framework and similar industry guidance. It's a methodology-based estimate rather than a third-party-audited figure — clearly labelled as such. The assumptions (per-asset embodied carbon, residual-life multiplier, regional grid-mix factor) are documented so your sustainability team can adjust them to match your corporate reporting framework.
For listed companies subject to SGX climate-disclosure rules where the Scope-3 estimate may face external assurance, we can partner with an independent assurance provider for review on request. The cost of that assurance is quoted separately from the ITAD engagement.
Scope of consulting-only engagements
- ♦ ITAD-policy drafting: end-to-end disposition policy aligned to DPDPA 2023 + MAS / CERT-In / NEA.
- ♦ Refresh-cycle planning: 3-year, 5-year, hybrid-cycle modelling.
- ♦ Disposition decision tree: what gets refurbished, what gets destroyed, who decides.
- ♦ Vendor-RFP procurement-language: how to write an ITAD RFP that doesn't accept overclaim.
- ♦ Evidence-pack format design: what your internal audit and external regulator should expect.
- ♦ Sub-contractor structure: when to partner with credentialed providers; how to structure the boundary.
- ♦ ESG reporting integration: how ITAD data flows into Scope-3 disclosure.
- ♦ Multi-country coordination model: SG-HQ MNC ITAD across SG + India and SAARC sites.

IT asset disposition — frequently asked
Do you do consulting-only engagements?
Yes. We can help your team design an ITAD policy, write the disposition decision tree, or structure the procurement language for an ITAD RFP — without owning the execution. Honest about pricing for that scope; ask us.
What does end-to-end ITAD include?
Refresh planning, Statement of Work with per-asset disposition decision, pickup logistics with locked GPS-tracked transit, NIST 800-88 + IEEE 2883-2022 data destruction, asset recovery via refurbish-and-remarket through South Asia trader channels, INR-denominated settlement, per-asset disposition report, and ESG / Scope-3 avoided-emissions estimate suitable for corporate sustainability disclosure.
Can Maxicom India provide ESG / Scope-3 emissions data on IT-asset disposition?
Yes. Per-job ESG appendix uses methodology aligned with the GHG Protocol Scope-3 Category 5 (Waste Generated in Operations) reporting framework. The estimate is methodology-based rather than third-party-audited — clearly labelled as such. Assumptions (per-asset embodied carbon, residual-life multiplier, regional grid-mix factor) are documented so your sustainability team can adjust to match your corporate reporting framework. For listed companies subject to SGX climate-disclosure rules, independent assurance review is available on request.
Do you do ITAD strategy consulting only?
Yes. Consulting-only engagements cover ITAD-policy drafting (end-to-end disposition policy aligned to DPDPA 2023 + MAS / CERT-In / NEA), refresh-cycle planning, disposition decision-tree design, vendor-RFP procurement-language development, evidence-pack format design, sub-contractor structuring, ESG reporting integration, and multi-country coordination model design. Quoted as a fee-based engagement separate from execution work.
What does an end-to-end ITAD service include?
Refresh planning, Statement of Work with per-asset disposition decision, pickup logistics with locked GPS-tracked transit, NIST 800-88 + IEEE 2883-2022 data destruction with two-operator + witness sign-off, asset recovery via refurbish-and-remarket through South Asia trader channels, INR-denominated settlement, per-asset disposition report, ESG / Scope-3 avoided-emissions estimate suitable for corporate sustainability disclosure under SGX climate-disclosure rules, per-job Certificate of Destruction in PDF + PDF/A archival format.
How is ESG reporting integrated into ITAD?
Modern ITAD engagements include avoided-emissions data for Scope-3 corporate sustainability disclosure. Methodology aligned with the GHG Protocol Scope-3 Category 5 (Waste Generated in Operations) reporting framework: per-asset embodied-carbon estimate × residual-life multiplier × regional grid-mix factor. Refurbish-and-remarket has meaningfully lower embodied-carbon impact than landfill or destruction-only. Per-job ESG appendix is methodology-based (clearly labelled, not third-party-audited). Independent assurance review available on request for SGX-listed clients.
