Digital Product Passports
Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are micro-websites created for every donated computer.
- Proof of Receipt
Each DPP includes a report detailing the hardware specifications of each computer, including the serial number. You get confirmation that your equipment has been received and properly processed.
- Proof of Data Destruction
We use industry-leading data-erasure software to securely wipe hard drives and create certificates of data destruction.
- Donation & Asset Disposition Reporting
Data reported by DPPs can be used to generate itemized tax documentation and detailed asset disposition reports.
- Sustainability & Circular Economy Impact
DPPs support a circular electronics economy by tracking critical information such as energy usage, hazardous materials, and recyclability.
