- ✓DoD 5220.22-M compliant overwrite procedures
- ✓NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) shredding equipment
- ✓Serial-specific NAID AAA certified certificates of destruction for every device
- ✓Chain-of-custody documentation from Phoenix pickup through final destruction
A Blancco Technology Group study found 42% of used hard drives purchased online contained recoverable data — making certified destruction essential. 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. STS provides R2v3 downstream documentation confirming materials reached certified smelters for every Phoenix engagement, meeting Banner Health vendor and Maricopa County agency requirements.
