The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is expanding our secure data destruction capabilities with a new 2mm dual-stage hammer mill designed for the physical destruction of solid-state drives (SSDs) and other flash-based media.
The equipment has been ordered, and as we prepare for its arrival, ERA is conducting market research to better understand the demand for this specialized data destruction service.

Secure Physical Destruction
As organizations replace and upgrade technology, securely managing data-bearing devices is an important part of the IT asset disposition process.
The new equipment is designed to physically destroy compatible media and reduce it down to approximately 2mm, including:
- Solid State Drives (SSDs)
- USB and thumb drives
- Memory cards
- Circuit boards
- Other compatible flash-based media
The dual-stage system uses a pre-shredder followed by a hammer mill to provide physical destruction of these devices.
Would Your Organization Be Interested?
We’re looking to hear from organizations that regularly manage sensitive information or require physical destruction of retired data-bearing devices.
This may include financial institutions, healthcare organizations, government agencies, law enforcement, educational institutions, law firms, data centres, technology companies and corporate IT departments.
We want to know: Would your organization be interested in using a 2mm SSD destruction service? If so, we’d also like to learn approximately how many SSDs or other flash-based devices your organization typically needs destroyed and how often you require destruction services.
