ERI Provides Nationwide Circular Data Center Services at Indiana Facility

PLAINFIELD, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ERI, the leading international material resource recovery, ITAD and tech reuse and recycling company, now maintains eight full-service ITAD facilities across more than a million square feet, equipped to provide IT lifecycle services for data centers, including at its state-of-the-art flagship supercenter location in Plainfield, Indiana.

With each of ERI’s eight facilities strategically positioned geographically in TX, AZ, CA, MA, NJ, WA, GA and IN to serve every zip code in the US, the Indiana facility houses proprietary and first-in-industry circular technologies such as AI-driven robotics; proprietary hyper-efficient shredding; smart material tracking and reporting technology; and an in-house battery commodity recovery plant.

ERI offers a full range of services to provide ITAD customers with secure removal and disposition of equipment, with an emphasis on data center remarketing, data center ITAD, server decommissioning, and on and off-site infrastructure service programs. The company has global capabilities that include on-site inventory, white-glove decommissioning, refresh and disposition, cable mapping, lift-and-shift services, and both soft and physical data destruction.

“One of the many things that sets ERI apart is our truly end-to-end secure chain of custody—from decommissioning through final disposition,” said John Shegerian, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of ERI. “We own our processing sites, handle global remarketing with REs, have deep relationships with the OEMs and ODMs, are integrated in the IT global supply chain, and uniquely operate in-house R2v3-certified secure facilities worldwide. This allows us to better protect our customers’ brands by maintaining full control of e-waste down to the commodity level, recovering reusable materials, avoiding extra handling and additional shipping fees, reducing the break in the chain of custody or unnecessary environmental risk of loss or improper processing to third parties for the downstream.”

ERI has been providing comprehensive ITAD circularity services in Indiana since 2008 and is ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, NAID AAA, R2 and BAN e-steward certified and is a fully carbon neutral organization, distinguishing the company as the world’s first electronic recycling and ITAD company to achieve carbon neutral status at all of its facilities nationwide.

“We’re proud to be able to help businesses of all sizes and industries achieve their initiatives while strengthening their data security, environmental compliance, and overall brand protection,” added Shegerian. “We provide additional levels of brand protection and help our customers tell their sustainability story. Our fully-certified ITAD services performed in-house at carbon neutral facilities, such as our location in Plainfield, provides businesses here and in the surrounding areas with access to the circular tech economy for their electronics.”

ERI’s secure end-to-end data center ITAD suite of services also includes relocation services for data centers. ERI handles all aspects of the transfer including secure logistics with GPS tracking and sealed dock-to-dock with no depot transfers. ERI’s data center team is trained to handle all stages of data center recycling and server decommissioning services to ensure compliance, efficiency, and minimal disruption. From proprietary asset detail capture and asset tag removal to certified data center disposition, secure revenue-generating data center ITAD, or a fully managed server decommissioning service, every step is documented.
