IBM GARS: Looking beyond the Horizons!

IBM has had a large ARS operation in Endicott, New York, and Raleigh, North Carolina, that reconditions or deconstructs old electronics equipment for its customers. However, this has become a global phenomenon now. In 2008, IBM Global Asset Recovery Services was recognized by the IT analyst firm IDC as one of the first recipients of its Green Recycling and Asset Disposal for the Enterprise (G.R.A.D.E.) certification. IBM's Global Asset Recovery

Services (GARS), with many years of experience of managing the IT assets of IBM on a colossal scale, fully understands these needs and helps in dealing with its disposal in a much more affordable, manageable and flexible manner. Running under the tutelage of IBM Global

Financing (which delivers financial services to 125,000 customers in more than 55 countries), GARS offers customers a financial opportunity with several attractive options. It offers full manufacturing capabilities, broad network of distribution channel and web-based services. It essentially offers Objective Optimal Residual Value and asset value recovery.

John Richards, Director, Global Asset Recovery Services, IBM, says, "GARS is a good news for those concerned with the environment and at the same time for those who believe in obtaining optimum value for money on selling a used product. It is also an apt method to supply as per demand after refurbishing. Different users' requirement is different and we serve this demand in a cost-effective manner. In India, IBM is planning huge investment for setting up a plant for the same. Many governments have prohibited the disposal of electronics in landfills. So if you have been holding back old equipment out of fear, or for any other reasons, it is time to take notice of IBM's deconstructive capabilities."

While GARS' worldwide landfill and incineration rate was YE 2008, a more in-depth analysis revealed that for the past three years, GARS' major demanufacturing locations recycled over 90 per cent of the product and material processed (weight) and less than 2/10 of a percentage was land-filled.
