Every asset you keep out of landfill has a carbon story. Increasingly, there's
a market that pays for it — and disposition partners are sitting on more of
that value than almost anyone.
What's an EAC?
An environmental attribute certificate (EAC) is a verified, tradeable
instrument representing the environmental benefit of an action — in this case,
the emissions avoided when IT equipment is reused, refurbished, or responsibly
recycled instead of being landfilled or replaced with new manufacturing.
EACs created through Layer IQ are built on independently verified methodology,
with the sourcing and documentation an auditor expects. Each certificate
carries full provenance: which assets, which disposition decisions, which data
sources, and the IQ Score behind every input.
Why this matters for disposition partners
You're already doing the work that creates this value. Processing assets for
reuse and recovery avoids real emissions — and until now, that benefit went
unmeasured and unmonetized. Layer IQ captures it from your existing operations:
No change to your floor process — the data comes from disposition decisions you're already recording
Audit-ready documentation generated alongside each certificate
Full transparency: every certificate's inputs are traceable, down to the individual asset
How to get started
Carbon monetization is available as an opt-in program. If you'd like to

The bigger picture
Sustainability regulation is pushing enterprises to measure and reduce the
footprint of their IT estates. That demand flows directly to the partners who
handle disposition — which means verified carbon data isn't just a revenue
stream; it's becoming part of how enterprises choose who to work with.
