Benefits of server recycling

Optimised space in the data centre

Old rack servers and storage units often take up valuable space in server rooms or data centres. By recycling outdated infrastructure in a timely manner, you free up room for more efficient, energy-saving systems and maintain a well-organised IT environment.

Cost savings on hardware processing

Server components such as power supplies, CPUs, RAM, and SSDs may still hold residual value when recycled properly. This helps reduce costs compared to standard e-waste processing, making server disposal a more financially attractive option.

Guaranteed data destruction

Decommissioned servers often contain highly sensitive business data stored on internal drives, RAID arrays, or hot-swappable disks.

Certified server recycling ensures secure data wiping in compliance with GDPR and ISO 27001 standards, helping prevent data breaches and ensuring full legal compliance.

Recovery of valuable materials

Servers contain reusable resources like copper, aluminium, gold, and rare metals found in circuit boards and power supplies.

Responsible recycling helps recover these critical materials, reducing your organisation’s carbon footprint and supporting your sustainability goals. It’s environmentally responsible, and great for your ESG profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you also recycle other types of IT equipment?

    Absolutely. In addition to servers, we also recycle various data centre components such as storage systems, switches, PCs, desktop computers, laptops, tablets, monitors, and peripheral devices.

  • What happens to the data on old servers?

    Server hardware often contains sensitive business data on hard drives, SSDs, or RAID arrays. All data is securely and completely erased in accordance with current data protection laws, including the GDPR. This minimises the risk of data breaches.

  • How can I be sure that the data is truly and safely destroyed?

    We use certified data erasure software and, when required, perform physical destruction of drives. After completion, you receive an official certificate of data destruction, including the serial numbers of all processed devices, ensuring full compliance documentation.
