Are there any laws in any country governing how such equipment is supposed to be decommissioned in case if bankruptcy?

This does not seem to be an isolated case, it just happening more and more with advance of technology.

What are they going to do? Sue the bankrupted company?

Or perhaps make sure it gets sanitised before refurbished and resold. I mean bankruptcy always means debt collector tries to sale assets to cover for losses, no?

But this does not answer my question. So basically many people here are unaware where such legal framework exist at all.
