Recycling professional IT equipment is an essential process for limiting the environmental impact of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) while meeting companies' legal obligations. This recycling process isn't just about disposal; it involves a structured and regulated chain of actions.
1. Inventory and collection
It all begins with identifying obsolete or out-of-service equipment: computers, servers, printers, monitors, etc. This equipment is then collected in secure bins or pallets. RECYNEW offers solutions tailored to the size and volume of the IT equipment to be processed.
2. Traceability and erasure of data
Before any recovery, storage media must undergo secure processing. Hard drives are erased using certified software or physically destroyed. Each step is documented, ensuring full traceability required by GDPR and internal audits.
3. Sorting and recycling
The equipment is disassembled and sorted: plastics, metals, electronic cards. Some parts can be reused or repurposed, while others can be recycled. Recovered raw materials such as copper, aluminum, and gold are returned to production lines, limiting the need for mining.
4. Reporting and certification
RECYNEW provides its clients with treatment certificates, weighing reports, and WEEELABEX compliance documents. This allows companies to demonstrate their eco-responsible approach in their CSR report or during an ISO audit.
In conclusion, recycling professional IT equipment isn't just about throwing it away: it's a structured, profitable, and virtuous commitment. For complete and compliant management, contact RECYNEW .
