Case: On-Site Equipment Destruction

Secure Onsite Equipment Destruction for a Global Technology Manufacturer

Client Profile

  • Industry: Technology Manufacturing

  • Employees: 3,200

  • Annual Revenue: $1.1 Billion

  • Locations: 40 global sites

The Challenge

A leading technology equipment manufacturer required secure and environmentally responsible recycling of development and test units that failed quality control. Due to the sensitive nature of the equipment, the client mandated physical destruction only—strictly prohibiting any resale or reuse. The project spanned multiple buildings and rooms across their expansive campus, requiring logistical coordination, professional packing, and efficient execution—all with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

Our Solution: ThinkFORCE + ThinkECO in Action

ThinkTLS responded with a comprehensive, white-glove solution leveraging two of our core service lines: ThinkFORCE for secure logistics and onsite service, and ThinkECO for certified destruction and sustainability compliance.

Step 1: Onsite Collection & Preparation

  • Provided custom packing supplies tailored for sensitive electronics and hardware.

  • Deployed a 5-person ThinkFORCE Field Services team to manage all onsite activities.

  • Collected, packed, and removed test units and peripherals from multiple rooms across several buildings.

  • Conducted thorough cleanup of all impacted areas, ensuring a professional and seamless wrap-up.

Step 2: Certified Destruction & Environmental Reporting

  • All assets were transported to our certified facility where ThinkECO performed R2v3-certified physical destruction.

  • Each item was logged and processed with full serial-level tracking, ensuring transparency and traceability.

  • Delivered a detailed Certificate of Recycling to the client, verifying destruction.

  • Issued ESG credits aligned with the client’s sustainability reporting standards and internal environmental goals.

Results & Impact

  • 100% of equipment destroyed securely per client mandate

  • Zero data risk with serialized audit trail

  • Full regulatory compliance via R2v3 standards

  • ESG credits contributed toward the client's annual sustainability reporting
