NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 Compliance for Leased Equipment
Leased IT equipment presents elevated data security risk because organizational data may reside on devices being returned to lessors. According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, purge-level sanitization requires cryptographic erasure or physical destruction for all media containing sensitive data, which is particularly critical for leased devices returning to lessors. Per R2v3:2020 standards, STS Electronic Recycling provides downstream tracking documentation confirming materials reached R2-certified processors.

According to the UN Global E-waste Monitor 2024, only 22.3% of the 62 million tonnes of e-waste generated globally is properly recycled. Boston organizations require downstream documentation confirming leased equipment reached R2-certified smelters. This documentation is standard in every STS engagement.
