This is what happens to electronic waste

Used ICT-equipment often contains components that can be used as spare parts in other devices, or can be recycled and valuable materials reused in new production streams. We help you test what can be reused, repair all that we can, and sort out the rest for recycling. Smartphones, tablets, laptops and MacBooks, desktop computing equipment and network equipment can all offer more value in reuse and resale than when recycled.

We help you profit

Electronic waste contains complex combinations of toxic substances that can pose a danger to health and the environment. This equipment also contain rare and valuable materials that can be given new life in production of new equipment such as mobiles, laptops or other electronic products. The good thing is that this isn’t a cost for our customers, we help you profit from reuse and recycling of products and components.

Lost values to be recovered

E-waste contains large quantities of valuable materials, and according to the World Economic Forum the value from resources in all E-waste generated in 2019 was a staggering USD 57 billion – where only a limited portion was recycled. This goes to prove that your waste is a valuable resource, and the EU have stated that 15 new jobs can be created from each 1000 tonnes of E-waste that are put to better use.

This is our process for handling end-of-life equipment:

  1. Devices are sent to our main processing facility in Estonia
  2. Data are wiped permanently, and a certificate is provided for each device
  3. Parts that can be repaired and reused are given new life
  4. Valuable materials are extracted for reuse
