Would you like to return your old laptops? In this article, we take you on the journey that your hardware undertakes: from the first click on our website to a sustainable second destination.<\/span><\/p>

Step 1: It starts with the inventory<\/span><\/h2>

To help you as best as possible, we ask you to provide the following information: <\/span>ICT inventory list<\/span><\/a> To be filled in on our website. Alternatively, we will send you a pickup registration form via email.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This is an important first step. With this, you will map out which equipment you have and all the specifications of each device. You will also indicate whether you want to receive an extensive report or whether certified data destruction should be applied. Whether it involves 10 or 1000 devices, this list is the basis for our plan of action. Based on this list, we will make an initial estimate of the potential residual value after processing. This way, you will know exactly what you can expect to receive for your old hardware.<\/span><\/p>
