Processing

This is where we assess the technology and decide the next step. Our primary goal is to refurbish all hardware we can. If we can not get hardware fit for resale, we look to either donate if suitable, or we will harvest individual parts for reuse and send the rest to have valuable resources recovered ethically by recyclers.

Refurbishment

For equipment fit to be refurbished, our 25-point process gives older hardware a new lease of life, looking and performing like new. Parts harvested in Resource Recovery may also come into use here to help refurbish equipment.

Extended Use

The goal is to keep IT hardware in use for as long as possible. Extending its lifespan also helps us achieve our Zero To Landfill policy.
