NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 Compliance
For Los Angeles organizations retiring IT equipment, STS Electronic Recycling applies NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 purge-level destruction to every engagement. Physical destruction using NSA/CSS EPL-listed shredding equipment reduces media to particle sizes that prevent data reconstruction. The de-manufacturing process also recovers precious metals — gold, palladium, and copper — supporting zero-landfill material stewardship across LA County sectors.
- ✓NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 compliant data sanitization
- ✓DoD 5220.22-M compliant overwrite procedures
- ✓NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) shredding equipment
- ✓Serial-specific NAID AAA certified certificates of destruction for audit compliance
- ✓Chain-of-custody documentation from pickup through final processing
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. Research on secondhand electronics markets shows roughly 17.4% of US-generated e-waste receives proper processing — a compliance gap that certified ITAD programs address through documented downstream tracking. This is standard in every STS engagement.
