London, Amsterdam, 16th March 2026 — Bloom ESG, the circular economy carbon market infrastructure company, today announced the launch of the I-TEC Registry, a groundbreaking certification platform that issues IT Asset Reuse Certificates (I-TECs) for IT asset refurbishment and recycling. For the first time, organisations can measure, verify, and report the true carbon impact of how they dispose of, refurbish, or recycle their technology assets.
The global IT sector generates over 50 million tonnes of e-waste annually, yet the carbon value locked inside responsible end-of-life IT management has remained largely invisible, until now.
Why I-TEC Changes Everything
Corporate sustainability commitments are under growing scrutiny. Scope 3 emissions reporting, ESG disclosure mandates, and investor pressure are forcing organisations to account for every tonne of carbon across their value chain. Yet IT asset end-of-life has remained a blind spot, typically being unmeasured, unverified, and unreported. Bloom is committed to changing that.
By issuing standardised carbon intensity certificates tied to verified refurbishment and recycling activities, I-TEC certificates offer sustainability teams the credible, auditable data they need to integrate IT asset management into their net-zero strategies, and gives investors the transparency they demand.
What the I-TEC Registry Delivers
- Verified carbon intensity certificates for each IT asset processed through refurbishment or recycling
- Standardised methodology aligned with ISO standards and the latest guidance from global carbon accounting frameworks such as the SBTi
- A publicly accessible registry ensuring transparency, traceability, and avoidance of double-counting
- Actionable ESG reporting data that feeds directly into Scope 3 disclosures
“The I-TEC Registry transforms IT asset management from a compliance obligation into a measurable climate action. We’re giving organisations the tools to make every device count toward their net-zero goals.”
A New Asset Class for the Circular Economy
I-TEC certificates are more than a reporting tool. They represent a new way of valuing responsible IT asset management. As regulatory frameworks tighten and voluntary carbon markets evolve, verified carbon intensity data from the I-TEC Registry positions organisations ahead of the curve.
Bloom invites IT asset managers, sustainability leads, and ESG-focused investors to explore the registry and discover how certified IT circularity can strengthen their climate credentials.
