REUSE & Recycling.


CCL has established comprehensive processes and solutions to facilitate the secure reuse or recycling of IT assets. Our approaches align seamlessly with your organisation's guidelines and policies while supporting circular economy principles.


IT equipment recycling follows our established protocol, starting with your initial inquiry and continuing through secure collection and data destruction. After we fully erase the data, you can choose from three secure recycling methods for your equipment.

  • Desktop computers
  • Laptop computers
  • iPads / tablets
  • Mobile phones
  • Telecoms equipment
  • Servers
  • Printers
  • Scanners
  • Medical devices

Refurbish

When permitted, CCL will refurbish and repurpose data-destroyed IT equipment in its original form to extend product lifecycles and align with the waste hierarchy, consistent with our commitment to a circular economy.

Recover

We manually strip down IT equipment to recover as many components as possible for reuse. By recovering these components, the team ensures that valuable resources can be repurposed and extended in their lifecycle.

recycle

Where refurbishment and recovery are not feasible or permissible, CCL will disassemble equipment into its constituent materials. This approach aims to maximise value, enhance resource recovery, and improve recycling rates.

Compliance

Guaranteed.

Our methods ensure full compliance with:


  • Data Protection Act (2018)
  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
  • Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations
  • All relevant legislation

to Sustainability
.

Where written permission is granted, we refurbish equipment to extend its lifecycle and promote reuse within the circular economy through our business computer recycling services.


For equipment unsuitable for refurbishment or without permission, we maximise value by hand-separating components and recovering base materials like copper, aluminium, and printed circuit boards for precious-metal recovery.


We send all recovered materials to carefully audited UK refiners. This ensures traceability, supports our processing capabilities, and fosters sustainable job creation.
