Keeping Tapes Out of the Landfills

From January to April 2009, ECHO Tape has saved over 50,000 data storage media tapes from going to a landfill.

ECHO Tape will recycle all of your used tapes and also arrange shipping. The ECHO certification process begins with secure and safe transportation of used media to our facility.  Tapes then undergo complete and thorough data eradication with overwrite of 100% of every track and byte of media.  Every tape is validated with a complete read test to verify eradication of data.

Contact an ECHO representative today to see if you can help keep used data storage media out of the landfills.

ECHO & WasteWise

ECHO 100% Certified Media is manufactured in cooperation with the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WasteWise program. Wastewise is an EPA sponsored program that is setting the standard for environmental leadership. Echo’s green solution enables data media tape to be recycled through a safe, secure and complete data eradication process; then tested and certified for resale, rather than dumped in landfills, incinerated or shredded. WasteWise is a free, voluntary, EPA program through which organizations eliminate costly municipal solid waste and select industrial wastes, benefiting their bottom line and the environment. WasteWise is a flexible program that allows partners to design their own waste reduction programs tailored to their needs.
