Introducing ITAD MAMORU: A New Solution for Safe and Eco-Friendly PC Disposal

ITAD MAMORU: A New Approach to PC Disposal

Japan Purple Inc., headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has announced the launch of its innovative service, ITAD MAMORU, on September 15, 2026. This new offering seeks to address the critical challenges of information security and environmental sustainability in the disposal of computers. With growing concerns over data leaks and the necessity for eco-friendly practices, businesses face a dilemma between enhancing security and committing to sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Addressing Information Leak Risks and Environmental Concerns

In light of the recent end of support for Windows 10, many companies are dealing with an overwhelming number of old PCs that need to be disposed of responsibly. As organizations strive to avoid information leaks more than ever before, they are simultaneously confronted with the urgent need to reduce environmental impact through reuse and recycling. This has led to increased struggles in determining the best disposal methods.

To answer these pressing concerns, Japan Purple has revamped its existing disposal services by introducing ITAD MAMORU, which offers a choice between traditional physical destruction and software-based data wiping through certified solutions. The flexibility to choose a data erasure method per device empowers businesses to make informed decisions that align with their security policies and environmental commitments.

Unique Value Offered by ITAD MAMORU

Japan Purple's focus has traditionally been on physical destruction of devices. However, the company saw a growing demand for options that support device reuse and a wider variety of data erasure methods, prompting this service transformation.

With ITAD MAMORU, customers are presented with two distinct options: data destruction through physical destruction and environmentally responsible data wiping via internationally certified software. This dual approach allows clients to select the optimal disposal solution tailored to the security levels and environmental considerations required for each piece of equipment.

Tailored Solutions to Address Diverse Needs

1. Compliance and Enhanced Security: Businesses can choose compliant data handling methods that align with internal regulations and industry guidelines, receiving a certification of data destruction post-process.
2. Contribution to CSR and SDGs: By enabling recycle and reuse, ITAD MAMORU actively promotes corporate social responsibility initiatives and environmental sustainability efforts.
3. Optimizing Management Costs: The ability to select disposal methods per device type can help reduce the workload and management expenses for IT departments.

Proven Track Record and Service Reliability

With over 50 years of experience in information security and a clientele of over 7,000 companies with zero reported data breaches, Japan Purple stands as a trustworthy player in the security services market.

Case Study: Early Adopter Success

An early user, a cloud security firm, shared insights into the challenges of ensuring data destruction while also maximizing resource utility. ITAD MAMORU allowed them to select from a combination of magnetic erasure and physical destruction based on the device's condition, adhering to NIST SP 800-88 Rev.1 standards and ensuring high security while promoting resource utilization.

Future Developments

Moreover, they plan to expand the scope of ITAD MAMORU to include more diverse IT assets beyond just PCs, servers, and smartphones, pushing the agenda of reuse and recycling to foster a sustainable society where everyone feels comfortable relinquishing their IT equipment.
