The rapid pace of technology has meant that computers seem to become redundant quicker than ever. Sometimes, though, it’s a case of computers being perfectly functional but not the right hardware for an organisation.
At HAZ TECH, we work to ensure that this does not mean ‘straight to landfill’ when, with a bit of work, many of these items can be brought safely back into re-use. This is not only better than landfill but even better than recycling.
At HAZ TECH, we expertly remove and destroy all data-bearing items. Hard drives, SSD as well as other identifying markers such as asset tags and stickers are all removed as part of our process.
The asset is then reused or recycled following your specification, with zero waste.
Computers are made up of so many different elements, including plastics, rubber and rare earth metals and so computer recycling takes care and expertise. In computer recycling, several rare earth metals are extracted, primarily because they are used in electronic components for their unique magnetic, conductive, and phosphorescent properties. The key rare earth metals typically recovered from recycled computers include:
These metals are essential for the manufacturing of high-performance electronics, so it is important to recycle them wherever possible.
At HAZ TECH, we have the expertise to ensure that each element is recycled correctly, maximising the safety of those handling the waste material whilst maximising the recycling possibilities. Our team are fully accredited and follow national guidelines every step of the way.
