All data is erased using NIST 800-88 and DoD-approved methods. Sensitive information is permanently destroyed, and verified certificates are issued to confirm compliance with strict data protection standards.

3. Testing & Repair

Each device undergoes a thorough inspection to assess its condition and functionality. Our team grades the assets to determine reuse or recycling, while quality control ensures any repaired items meet performance standards.

4. Refurbish & Resell

Usable equipment is refurbished to extend its life and maximize recovery value. Refurbished assets are remarketed through trusted resale channels, helping reduce electronic waste and generate returns.

5. Recycle

End-of-life devices are dismantled using certified recycling methods. Materials are recovered under a strict zero-landfill policy, and hazardous components are safely processed to protect the environment.
