Providing Secure Data Destruction & Recycling: Living Green Technology

Talk to Us About Electronics Risk Management

Living Green Technology helps healthcare-adjacent organizations including pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, clinical research labs, medical device manufacturers, diagnostic laboratories, and healthcare IT vendors securely dispose of devices containing highly sensitive ePHI (electronic patient health records), clinical trial results, genetic research, and proprietary medical technology.

Under HIPAA regulations, these organizations are classified as “business associates” and must protect patient information throughout their entire lifecycle, including proper destruction when electronic devices reach end-of-life.

Failing to properly dispose of IT equipment can lead to federal penalties, breach notifications, and damage to research partnerships.

We assist with secure disposal and recycling across research laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and corporate data centers using HIPAA-compliant certified wiping, degaussing, and physical shredding that eliminated sensitive data.

Every service includes a Certificate of Destruction for federal audits and compliance programs.

The Risks of Improper Client Data Disposal

Failing to destroy old electronics properly can bring serious consequences for healthcare adjacent organizations:

HIPAA penalties for failing to safeguard ePHI or patient-related data

Intellectual property theft of research data, product designs, or trial information

Lawsuits & breach liability if sensitive data is leaked or stolen

Loss of trust from healthcare providers, patients, and business partners

Contract termination with hospitals, insurers, or research institutions

We make compliant IT asset disposition (ITAD) simple and auditable for healthcare adjacent organizations.

Security First Environmental Mission

We believe no environmental outcome is acceptable if security is compromised.
Every device we handle, working or not, undergoes data destruction before resale, recycling, or material recovery decisions are made.
By treating electronics disposition as a risk management function, we help organizations protect data, reduce liability, and meet compliance requirements, while delivering responsible environmental outcomes through disciplined, security-first operations.
