Sustainable IT recycling by Zero Tech Waste

Sustainable IT recycling services from
a trustworthy UK business

Driven by a mission to raise the standards of IT recycling, we are committed to solutions that limit waste in the UK and avoid exporting waste, contributing to pollution in other countries. At Zero Tech Waste, we’re not just recycling IT—we’re redefining the future of responsible and sustainable recycling.

Sustainable IT recycling
Recycle first, and no IT waste exports

Everything we collect is prioritised for reuse (after secure data sanitation), supporting the circular economy and minimising the carbon footprint that is required for recycling and materials recovery.

We recycle 100% of all your IT assets, with no waste exported to other countries. Everything is processed here in the UK, minimising mileage at every stage — we’re doing our best for the planet.
