Why partnering with ARCOA makes sense
Electronics Recycling is an important and profitable part of the IT asset lifecycle, but it can be overwhelming with all you already do, varying state regulations, and the limited resources at hand. That’s where ARCOA comes in. When you partner with ARCOA, you get all the benefits of a big company without any of the capital investment. We’ve been doing this since 1989 and have the expertise, certifications, and nationwide resources to get the most for all your clients’ retired IT assets. Plus, positioning your clients as environmental stewards not only elevates their appeal to consumers, it meets government requirements and avoids fines.
What partnering with ARCOA looks like
Our role is to make it easy for you to bring more value to your clients. We work with you to help stretch your clients’ IT budget by reducing the total cost of ownership of their electronics. We’re experts at identifying and implementing the solutions your clients need for the end-of-use re-marketing, recovery, and recycling of their technology assets. The sooner you involve ARCOA, the sooner you and your client.

Navigating the Mirage: Deepfakes and the Quest for Authenticity in a Digital World
- Deepfakes fabricate videos of candidates, potentially swaying public opinion. The case of Ukrainian President Zelensky conceding to Russia highlights the disruption.
- Employees are susceptible to deepfake attacks, risking sensitive information compromise. Advanced AI-driven security detects anomalies in behavior and access patterns.
- While AI powers deepfakes, it aids cybersecurity by detecting vulnerabilities and implementing countermeasures. AI identifies potential deepfake content preemptively, bridging the cybersecurity skills gap.
- To combat deepfakes effectively:
- Legal frameworks targeting deepfake creation and distribution, along with international cooperation and ethical AI guidelines, are crucial. Media authentication frameworks and awareness campaigns empower individuals to discern real from synthetic content.
- Companies prioritize AI-driven cybersecurity to safeguard against deepfake threats. Proactive measures, like real-time breach detection and centralized understanding of the organization's baseline, maintain integrity and security.
