KASPA Newsletter
Quarterly Newsletter
April 2026 Edition
Welcome to our April Edition!
Q1 has been an exciting and productive start to the year for KASPA, marked by several new initiatives and continued industry engagement.
In partnership with SV Tech Source, we launched KASPA E-Waste Recycling Days in Silicon Valley, along with a broader e-waste campaign aimed at increasing awareness and driving responsible recycling of surplus IT equipment and semiconductor materials. These efforts are designed to support EHS and facility teams in managing waste more sustainably.
Building on this collaboration, we also introduced IT Asset Management (ITAM) services to help organizations take full control of their technology investments across the entire lifecycle. From deployment and redeployment to secure retirement and environmentally responsible disposal, this initiative provides end-to-end visibility, compliance, and cost optimization.
Proceeds from these services will directly support KASPA’s workforce development efforts, including training programs, networking events, and community engagement initiatives.
KASPA also maintained a strong presence at key industry conferences and exhibitions, including Intersolar & Energy Storage North America, DesignCon, and the IPC Expo, where we engaged with industry leaders and shared insights with our members and the broader community.
