Methods to Destroy Data

There are many ways to destroy data, including, sanitization, and physical destruction. Some of the methods EWASTE+ utilizes include:

Sanitization is the process of permanently removing data from a storage device. Sanitization ensures that data is completely erased utilizing software that overwrites each sector of the hard drive. . The storage device is then verified to be free of any data by a second trained and certified technician to ensure the erasure is successful. Sanitization is by far the most environmentally responsible form of data destruction.
Physical Data Destruction is the process of physically destroying a storage device by a means of mechanical separation, commonly referred to as shredding. Hard drives and media are physically deformed rendering data retrieval impossible. Physical destruction ensures that data is completely destroyed and cannot be recovered by anyone.

Understanding the data destruction process is important for businesses because it helps them choose the right data destruction method for them and their organizations.
