Collection

Our DBS checked team collect your redundant hardware and bring it to our on site Resource Recovery facility.

Data Sanitisation

We data sanitise all data-bearing devices and components to protect all business information from data breaches.

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.

The purpose of Refurbishment is to extend a device’s life, the process can involve repairing, upgrading & restoring functionality, the desired outcome being a fully operational unit that can be resold, reused or donated.

Conversely the purpose of Recycling is to recover materials and reduce waste. This will often involve disassembly & separation of various materials. This allows the different materials to be reused in new or refurbished products.

Recycling electronics correctly prevents environmental damage to the land and water ways, it allows us to Recover valuable materials for reuse, reduce the amount of waste in landfills and supports sustainable practices by with the creation of new products made from recycled materials.

R2v3 is a certification awarded to businesses that responsibly handle waste through their supply chain. This means that we account for all electronic waste and ensure that no technology we receive ends up in landfill.

Poorly managed electronic waste can lead to dangers to the three "P’s"

People: Toxic chemicals can pose serious health risks to works and communities

Planet: Hazardous substances that can be found in electronic waste can severely damage the environment, pollute ecosystems, and cause air pollution.

Profit: data leaks from discarded electronic waste can cause unmeasurable damage to a company, both in reputation and financially

Electronics can contain up to 17 of the 35 Critical Raw Materials deemed in short supply by the EU. Recovered components can be reused in repairing or refurbishing equipment, aid remanufacturing or when refined, materials can be turned into Jewelry or even building materials. The possibilities are endless if processed correctly.

If electronics end up in landfill the materials within them are wasted and can no longer be recovered, putting even more pressure on the mining of resources and carbon-intensive manufacturing processes. Similarly, e-waste is often shipped off to developing countries where it can cause health issues for the local communities thanks to chemical leakages and dangerous methods for retrieving materials.
