Sustainable technology lifecycle management firm Greenbox Group has acquired Melbourne-headquartered EraseIT from IT services provider, Interactive.
Part of Interactive since 2018, EraseIT (founded in 2009) is a provider of data cleansing and asset disposal services. The deal brings together two sustainable tech leaders under a vision to eliminate e-waste, the fastest growing waste stream in the world, and its environmental, climate and data security impacts. The two companies’ IT hardware asset services promote reuse, refurbishment, and responsible recycling.
Greenbox has been operating for 25 years and is at the forefront of the asset lifecycle management market with a strong Trans-Tasman footprint that includes facilities across Australia and New Zealand. The CleanTech innovator, which leverages AI and proprietary analytics, has clients worldwide. It was the first in its sector to be certified carbon neutral and is a trailblazer in the IT refurbishment and circular economy space.
EraseIT has delivered trusted, secure IT asset disposal and data erasure services, helping customers recover value and simplify asset lifecycle management. At the same time, its commitment to responsible recycling and reuse helps prevent e-waste and supports a cleaner, more sustainable future.
The acquisition will see EraseIT’s established operations move into Greenbox Group, ushering a new growth phase for both entities as part of the $2 trillion clean technology transformation of how the world manages resources. The footprint expansion follows Greenbox’s acquisition of Remark IT in New Zealand last year.
“We were drawn to EraseIT due to our shared focus, complementary operations, and the synergies offered for building world-leading circular economy practices,” said Ross Thompson, CEO of Greenbox Group.
“Bringing EraseIT into the Greenbox fold means that together we have an expanded footprint across new locations, stronger systems and services to support customers, and access to a wide network of Australasian clients. All existing EraseIT clients will enjoy these benefits.”
Alexandra Coates, Interactive CEO, says, “This action sets both EraseIT and Interactive up for long-term success. EraseIT is joining a specialist owner with deep expertise in sustainable IT asset management, giving it the scale and investment to meet evolving market demands and deliver even greater value to customers.
“As part of Greenbox Group, EraseIT will be at the forefront of CleanTech innovation and circular economy leadership across Australasia. For Interactive, this move is a direct reflection of our Unite28 strategy—sharpening our focus on core products and services.”
The acquisition creates a benchmark for responsible technology asset disposal in the region.
