Serial-specific certificates of destruction document each asset by make, model, serial number, destruction method, and downstream processing facility.

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. Most San Diego organizations require downstream documentation confirming materials reached R2-certified smelters—standard in every STS engagement.
