Services
Four capabilities that stay on one chain of custody. You can buy them as a single engagement or scope them separately.
Asset recovery & buyback
Retired equipment is not automatically worthless. Working laptops, servers and networking gear hold residual value in secondary markets — value that is lost entirely if the kit goes straight to a shredder.
We assess your lot before collection and put a number against it. Where the equipment has resale value, we pay for it. Where it does not, we say so and quote the handling cost instead.
- Outright buyout. A fixed price per lot, agreed before pickup. Ownership and risk transfer at collection.
- Revenue share. We process and sell, then settle your share once the lot has cleared. Higher upside, settled later.
- Valuation transparency. The offer is broken down by device category, not a single lump sum, so you can see what is driving the number.
- Final reconciliation. If the delivered lot differs materially from the declared inventory, the difference is documented rather than silently absorbed.
Certified data destruction
The method has to match the media. Erasing a working SSD and erasing a failed spindle drive are different problems, and treating them the same is how data incidents happen.
| Media | Method | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Working HDD | Software overwrite to NIST SP 800-88 | Drive is functional and can be verified after the pass |
| Working SSD / NVMe | Sanitise command or cryptographic erase | Overwrite alone is unreliable on flash; the controller handles it |
| Failed or unreadable media | Physical destruction — shred or crush | The drive cannot be verified, so erasure cannot be evidenced |
| Tape and magnetic media | Degauss, then destroy | Magnetic field removes the recording before physical processing |
| Phones and tablets | Encrypted wipe, or destruction on request | Depends on whether the device is being resold or retired |
What the certificate contains
- Device serial number or asset tag
- Media type and capacity
- Method applied and standard referenced
- Date of processing and operator reference
- Job identifier that ties back to the intake manifest
Why per-device, not per-batch
A batch certificate tells an auditor that a destruction happened. It does not tell them that your drive with that serial number was destroyed. When a device goes missing from a lot, only serial-level records make the gap visible — which is precisely the moment the documentation matters.
Refurbishment & remarketing
Reuse beats recycling on every environmental measure, and it is the only path that generates enough value to fund a buyback. But reuse only works if the equipment is genuinely serviceable.
We test before we grade, and we screen against what the destination market will actually accept. Sending equipment that fails at the port helps nobody — not the buyer, not the seller, and not the environment.
- Functionality testing across power, storage, display, battery health and I/O, with results recorded per unit.
- Condition grading so buyers know what they are getting before the container leaves.
- Age and specification screening against destination-market requirements, applied at source rather than discovered at customs.
- Selective harvesting where a whole unit is not viable but components still have service life.
Compliant global logistics
Cross-border movement of used electronics is the part most vendors get wrong. Under the Basel Convention, tested and fully functional equipment with a demonstrated reuse market in the importing country is not classified as waste — but that status is not automatic. It has to be evidenced.
- Functionality declarations prepared for equipment intended for direct reuse, as described in the Basel Convention technical guidelines.
- Manifest data in the format customs commonly requests: brand, model, serial number, year of manufacture and quantity.
- Destination screening so lots are matched to markets that permit them.
- Licensed downstream routing for fractions that cannot be reused, with the receiving facility identified in the record.
What actually happens, stage by stage
Scope, method and deliverables are agreed in writing before collection. Nothing moves until both sides have signed off on the same description.
1. Scoping
You send asset categories, approximate quantities, locations and any data-sensitivity requirements. We confirm what is in scope, what is excluded, and what the indicative value looks like.
2. Collection
Pickup is scheduled around your site access and security procedures. Units are counted and logged at handover, and the signed manifest becomes the baseline for everything that follows.
3. Processing
Data-bearing media is processed by the agreed method. Remaining hardware is tested, graded and either prepared for reuse or routed to licensed recycling. Exceptions are recorded, not discarded.
4. Closeout
The disposition pack is issued: intake log, sanitisation or destruction records, certificates, reuse and recycling outcomes, and the final value statement against the agreed commercial model.
Start with an inventory
A spreadsheet of device types and quantities is enough for a first indication. No commitment, no site visit required.
