Maxicom provides IT asset disposition across Singapore and Malaysia the way it should work: your retired IT leaves on a documented chain of custody, every drive is destroyed to NIST 800-88 with a certificate, and the recoverable value comes back to you as payment in SGD — not an invoice. You get the compliance paperwork your auditor, your regulator and your sustainability report all need, and a number instead of a cost.
Traditional ITAD vendors charge a fee to take your equipment, destroy the data and issue a certificate. We do all of that — the chain of custody, the NIST 800-88 destruction, the per-lot documentation your auditor and your PDPA obligations require — but because we recover the secondary-market value inside the hardware, we return that value to you as payment. Same governance, opposite cash flow.
For a Singapore business, that turns a recurring cost line into a recovery. And because the value we can return depends on how much reusable hardware is in the lot, the incentive is aligned: we want to reuse first, which is also the better outcome for your ESG reporting.
| Charge-to-dispose ITAD | Scrap dealer | Maxicom | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cash outcome | You pay a fee | Metal weight | Value returned in SGD |
| Data destruction | Yes, for a fee | Not reliable | NIST 800-88 + certificate |
| Audit trail | Basic certificate | None | Manifest + chain of custody + disposition |
| Reuse-first | Sometimes | No | Yes — better value & ESG |
| Regulator fit | Varies | Poor | PDPA / MAS / DOE aligned |
Every engagement is logged end to end: collection manifest, chain of custody, sanitisation records to NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883, certificates of destruction, and disposition of every asset (reused, recycled or destroyed). In Singapore that supports your obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 and, for financial institutions, the MAS Technology Risk Management guidelines; in Malaysia it supports the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 as amended by the 2024 Amendment Act, and Department of Environment scheduled-waste handling. The paperwork is real and traceable — not a certificate template.
Reuse beats recycling for both value and carbon, and increasingly your disclosures depend on it. Under Singapore's sustainability-reporting expectations and Bursa Malaysia's for listed firms, extending the life of IT assets and diverting them from destruction is a measurable win — embodied carbon avoided, e-waste reduced. Our reuse-first disposition, with documented, itemised outcomes, gives your sustainability team defensible numbers rather than a vague 'recycled responsibly' claim.
Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe), with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody. Drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. Certified destruction is what makes buyback safe under Singapore's PDPA and Malaysia's PDPA — so it's included in the deal, not billed as an extra.
