Computer recycling
crt monitor tube A CRT monitor tube contains toxic Lead oxide, applied to the inside of the glass, phosphorous to the front of the tube, copper and inert gasses.

We've come to understand the significant impact the Computer industry is having on the Global Environment. From the enrgy required in the production of Silicon Wafers to the use of Hazardous chemicals. Combined with the energy required to recycle parts into material form, the industry is expelling carbon at a very high rate. Unlike any other industry in existance, the IT sector is having a serious impact upon us at every aspect.

The IT production industry has a Large Carbon footprint, which can be reduced through re-use and re-deployment of redundant IT equipment.

Stage 1: Production:

computer disposal

The production of computer components involves numerous chemicals, some of which are extremely hazardous to our health and the environment.

The IT production industry utilises raw dwindling resources, already scarce and growing in price every day. At the time of writing this, gold is at an all time high of $500 dollars per troy ounce. Copper stands at an all time high, and yet we continue to manufacture goods at an ever increasing rate.

Stage 2: Use

A company will dispose of it's IT equipment after 3 years of use. This is not necessarily redundant and could be re-used/ deployed for use in charities, homes and schools. We manage the re-deployment and complete recycling of redundant computers. We recycle redundant/ faulty computers into component metals. The result is a renewable resource. Through our companies, you can be assured that your used computers will be recycled in a secure, environmentally friendly manner.

Stage 3: disposal

Health: Numerous developing nations are being flooded with Britain's computer waste, much of which was supposed to be recycled. The result is a devastating impact upon local environments and populations. We try very hard to extract resource bearing components from all redundant computer equipment in our posession. The result is redeployment of scarce resources throughout the world in their raw states, thus offering a true Computer Recycling solution.
