Become Part of the Industry's Strongest Voice

Membership Overview

The Global ITAD Alliance (GIA) exists to raise the visibility, credibility, and global relevance of the IT Asset Disposition industry. As the only unified, industry-led alliance of its kind, GIA amplifies the voice of ITAD professionals, positions the sector alongside major OEMs and policy makers, and promotes responsible, high-value recovery practices to enterprises, governments, and the broader circular-economy ecosystem. Membership places your company at the center of this movement. By joining the GIA, you gain access to exclusive advantages designed not only to improve your business, but to elevate the ITAD industry as a whole. From global branding and policy engagement to compliance support and business development, membership empowers your organization to lead—rather than follow—as the industry continues to mature and expand. GIA is where ITAD companies, brokers, ITAMs, recyclers, refurbishers, and solution providers come together to shape the future of sustainable technology lifecycle management.
