In the fast-paced world of technology, companies regularly replace their IT equipment. New laptops, servers and peripherals are purchased to meet the ever-growing demands of the digital world. But what happens to the old equipment? Many companies let it gather dust in storage areas or, worse, let it end up unsorted in the trash. This is not only a waste of valuable resources, but also harmful to the environment. Not to mention sensitive data that can fall into the wrong hands. Fortunately, there is a sustainable and responsible solution: hardware disposal By W3E.

By choosing W3E, your company or organization benefits from numerous advantages:

Why is responsible IT disposal important?
Electronic waste (e-waste) is een van de snelst groeiende afvalstromen ter wereld. Oude IT-apparatuur bevat waardevolle materialen zoals goud, zilver en koper, maar ook schadelijke stoffen zoals lood en kwik. Als deze materialen niet op de juiste manier worden verwerkt, kunnen ze schadelijke gevolgen hebben voor het milieu en de menselijke gezondheid.
By disposing of your old hardware responsibly, you are contributing to a circular economy. This means that valuable components are reused or recycled, reducing the need for new raw materials and significantly reducing environmental impact.
