Your old laptops can change someone’s life

Digitalisation is becoming increasingly important in our lives. More and more things we can manage online. But not everyone has the digital skills, equipment or internet to participate. This is a shame, because participating in the digital world is no longer a luxury, but a must.
Affordable electronics
One way to bridge the digital divide is to provide affordable electronics. If people have access to cheap, used computers, laptops and tablets, they can develop the necessary digital skills and participate online. Affordable electronics can lower the threshold for people in poverty and other vulnerable groups. They will be better able to apply for benefits or permits, manage their banking affairs, look up medical information or even apply for a job.
We would like to work together to contribute to this. That is why we offer computers at fair rates. This way, even people with a tight wallet can get started with digital skills.
Do you want to help?
Your outdated laptops can change someone’s life. Organisations can donate used laptops. We refurbish them to ensure that all data is 100% certified and securely removed. Then we make sure they get to people who desperately need them via social partners. Through social enterprise Close the Gap, they end up in educational, medical and social projects in developing and emerging countries.
Is the IT equipment really no longer usable? Then we can collect the equipment from you, remove the data 100% certified and safe, and calculate the residual value for you. You can donate it to the charity of your choice via the ITdonations foundation, an initiative of Circular IT group.
Data turns to dust. Our new H5 and E5 shredders provide data destruction according to the highest standards, ensuring your data is securely and irretrievably destroyed. Ideal for organisations with strict security requirements and fully compliant with the latest privacy regulations.
The crucial role of hard drive destruction and data deletion
Businesses must ensure safe data disposal at hardware end-of-life. Deleting data isn’t enough; true security requires professional destruction or erasure. Safeguard against data breaches and comply with privacy laws with our reliable solutions.
The cradle-to-grave KPI for end-user computing measures the environmental impact of digital devices throughout their life cycle, from manufacturing to disposal. By extending the lifespan of devices and choosing devices with a lower carbon footprint, organizations can reduce their environmental impact.
