To realise this potential, it’s essential that decommissioned servers—from businesses migrating to the cloud and from outdated data centres—are directed to trusted IT recycling companies. These companies must be equipped to professionally wipe data and refurbish servers to modern standards.
At Zero Tech Waste, we believe that all e-waste should enter a truly circular economy with the lowest possible carbon footprint. However, not all recycling methods are created equal. It is crucial to understand the processes your IT recycling provider uses to manage your redundant equipment responsibly.
Urban mining is the process of searching for, collecting, and recovering valuable materials from e-waste. Rather than extracting finite resources, urban mining taps into the growing stockpile of unused or obsolete electronics stored in homes and businesses.
A circular economy is a system that prioritises the reuse of materials or products over other forms of recycling. For waste electronic equipment and old IT assets a circular economy means we prioritise refurbishment and reuse, minimising the need for new material extraction — and reducing environmental damage caused by mining and poor recycling practices.
