End-of-life computer servers represent much more than just bulky items to dispose of. They contain valuable components, some of which are still functional, and must be handled with care to ensure data security and maximize resource recovery. Here's how RECYNEW helps you get the most out of your old servers.
1. Identification and audit of equipment
The first step is to take inventory of the servers to be processed. A technical audit assesses whether the equipment is intended for reuse or dismantling for recycling, including brand, model, configuration, and operating condition.
2. Reuse: a high added value option
Some servers can be refurbished, cleaned, tested, and resold as used equipment. This approach generates revenue, reduces environmental impact, and extends the lifespan of electronic components.
3. Secure and compliant recycling
If the equipment is too old or damaged, it is dismantled to separate the different materials: aluminum, copper, plastics, electronic cards. RECYNEW ensures WEEELABEX-compliant treatment with disposal of hazardous waste and recycling of secondary raw materials.
4. Data security: a top priority
Servers often contain sensitive data. All hard drives are certified erased or physically destroyed. RECYNEW provides the necessary erasure or destruction certificates to ensure GDPR compliance.
5. A valuable approach for your CSR
By recycling your servers, you reduce waste, lower your carbon footprint, and demonstrate your commitment to a circular economy. This is a concrete action to include in your sustainability reports.
RECYNEW supports you every step of the way, from diagnosis to treatment, ensuring transparency, traceability and efficiency.
