Recycling
Our rework operations also allow us to process devices that are usually considered waste, allowing
an increased return for clients and partners based on providing a value for units that are currently treated as scrap.
The best form of recycling is re-use, and our processes not only involve maximising salvage units for resale, but also processing parts, accessories and boxes, enabling us to reduce the amount of recycled materials and stress on the environment and landfill locations.
Protection of the environment is central to our business strategy. Accordingly, we have developed an Environmental Management System that is compliant to ISO14001 and EMAS, the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme.
Our system has been incorporated into all company operations to ensure that we:
l Provide a fully auditable and sustainable solution that enables whole life cycle
l Manage electronic equipment through re-use and recycling, helping to combat climate change by reducing our emission of greenhouse gases and eliminating landfill
l Manage and minimise environmental risks identified in our processing operations and support service activities performed at client sites
l Maintain regulatory compliance records l Measure and report our environmental
performance quarterly
l Assess the environmental performance of
key suppliers and co-operate with suppliers, customers and business partners to achieve higher environmental standards
l Encourage sustainable development through
business example and voluntary endeavours, both nationally and within the local community
Sustainability
Our business model allows us to help charities, NGOs and other organisations generate revenue by recycling products otherwise destined for landfill. In this way, the core of our business leaves a positive impact on society.
