Lab equipment recycling is becoming increasingly important as laboratories in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, education, and research generate growing amounts of electronic waste. From advanced analyzers to digital microscopes, technology evolves quickly — and outdated devices can’t simply be thrown away.
EACR Inc. provides licensed, environmentally responsible lab equipment recycling solutions designed to meet the highest standards of safety, and sustainability. Every device we collect is processed with secure data destruction, full documentation, and a strict zero-landfill policy — ensuring sensitive information and materials are handled properly from start to finish.
Why Laboratory Equipment Recycling Matters
Reducing Electronic Waste in Research and Healthcare
Laboratories are constantly upgrading equipment to keep pace with technological advancements — from analytical instruments and testing systems to digital imaging devices. This rapid evolution creates large volumes of obsolete or non-functional electronics, much of which contains sensitive data and hazardous materials.
Environmental and Health Risks of Improper Disposal
Many lab devices contain elements like lead, mercury, and chlorinated plastics. When improperly discarded, these materials can contaminate soil and water, posing risks to both human health and the environment. Proper lab equipment recycling prevents these materials from entering landfills and allows reusable metals, plastics, and glass to be reused.
Common Types of Lab Equipment We Recycle

Transport
EACR Inc. provides prompt pickup and transport using our licensed fleet and logistics network.
Protect
Devices are sanitized and wiped using a DoD 5220.22-M 3-pass wipe or physically destroyed if verification fails. This step ensures total data protection and secure removal of any data before recycling begins.
Report
Clients receive Certificates of Recycling confirming that all materials have been processed and all data permanently destroyed.
Recycle
All equipment is dismantled and processed under EACR Inc.’s zero-landfill policy to recover reusable metals, plastics, and components. Nothing goes to waste—every material is either repurposed or refined for future use.
The Importance of Data and Material Security
Protecting Sensitive Laboratory Data
Laboratories store vast amounts of sensitive information, from patient results to proprietary research. That’s why lab equipment recycling requires more than just disposal—it demands total data security. EACR Inc. ensures all digital lab devices, including computers, microscopes, and analyzers with memory, undergo complete data destruction before processing.
