Circularity
We build our hard drives to last. Give yours a second life.
In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, we address today’s data challenges and how innovative strategies, such as storage as a service, help predict and reduce escalating storage costs. Join us for valuable insights into elevating data management and Seagate’s commitment to a circular economy through refurbishing and reusing storage devices.
Today’s linear ‘take-make-waste’ consumption model is unsustainable. In FY2025, we returned over 1.5 million hard drives and solid-state drives (SSD) back to service through repair, refurbishment, component extraction, and material recovery, helping to:
In 2022, Seagate helped found the Circular Drive Initiative (CDI)—a collaboration with global leaders in digital storage, sustainability, and blockchain—which focuses on reducing e-waste by promoting and enabling the secure reuse of storage hardware.
Stop hard drive shredding. Shift to a mindset of sustainability. Despite modern state-of-the-art sanitization techniques, data security remains the biggest concern in adopting drive circularity. This leads to widespread hard drive shredding, with over 200 million devices disposed yearly. We're enabling the circular economy by providing a trusted and certified level of erasure.
