Level3Recycling is a company that is passionate about the environment, which is why we have chosen to be engaged in reducing, recycling and reusing redundant or superfluous IT equipment.
The zero-waste approach can create many positive benefits, such as improving community relations, boosting local economies, saving energy and water, and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions. It also includes the 5 Rs: refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rot. A zero-waste approach can reduce waste management emissions by 84%.
When we collect unwanted IT equipment from businesses and organisations across the UK it is brought to our approved, authorised recycling facility in West Yorkshire. Initially it is sorted into two categories – either it is defunct, broken or obsolete, and therefore ready for data destruction and dismantling for recycling, or it is still functional and therefore still usable and suitable for re-marketing.
A surprising amount of IT equipment is discarded not because it is no longer working, but just because it is slightly out of date and has been replaced, or is surplus to requirements.
This sort of e-waste is not waste at all – it has value which we can, in many cases, pass on to our clients by re-selling it on their behalf. There is a ready market for refurbished IT equipment – especially items like computers, laptops, tablets, printers and hard drives.
With an intimate knowledge of the IT equipment trade we are perfectly placed to identify which items have value for remarketing, and these are securely data-wiped, tested and prepared for use by our experienced depot team.
Selling on unwanted tech is an extremely sustainable way of limiting e-waste, and maximises the financial, environmental and social value of redundant IT assets.
Only a tiny percentage of the materials in your computer, for example, can’t be recycled. Consider components like the glass from the monitor, the plastic from the keyboard and casing, the ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It can all be used again to make other items, meaning savings in the costs and the energy consumption required in sourcing raw materials.
The rare metals, especially, that are found in redundant IT equipment are particularly worthy of being extracted and reused, not only to help the environment and improve the carbon footprint, but also to protect finite resources and maximise the equipment’s cradle-to-grave lifecycle.
A veritable treasure trove of rare earth metals, like neodymium, cerium, samarium and terbium, are to be found in IT devices. There are precious metals too in e-waste, such as gold, silver and platinum used in circuit boards.
