Why professional IT recycling matters

E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams globally. Improper disposal of IT equipment can result in environmental contamination, data breaches, and significant regulatory penalties under WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) and environmental legislation. Our professional recycling process ensures responsible material recovery aligned to regulatory requirements.


Our recycling process

Every piece of equipment goes through a structured recycling workflow:

  Collection and secure transport to our processing facility

  Asset registration with serial number documentation

  Data destruction for all data-bearing devices (NIST 800-88 compliant)

  Functional testing to identify equipment with resale value

  Material separation and recovery (metals, plastics, precious metals)

  Hazardous material handling (batteries, capacitors, CRT displays)

  Certificate generation and reporting


What we recycle

We accept all types of IT and datacenter equipment:

  Servers (rack, tower, blade) and workstations

  Networking equipment (switches, routers, firewalls)

  Storage systems (SAN, NAS, tape libraries)

  Peripherals (monitors, keyboards, cables)
