Treatment and recycling: technical and environmentally responsible processes

After collection, the equipment is sorted and dismantled to separate the components - plastics, metals, glass, electronic circuits - which will be sent for reuse and recycling.

These stages prevent the contamination of soil, water and air by toxic substances present in electronics, such as heavy metals and flame retardants. To this end, certified processes aligned with the best environmental practices are applied, guaranteeing technical and environmental compliance.

Hard drive sanitization and secure media destruction

The security of data stored on used devices must be strictly adhered to. The secure destruction and sanitization of hard drives and other media ensures that corporate information is not improperly accessed by third parties. According to the best practices adopted, this is a regulatory and strategic requirement.
