General

What exactly does Econyx do?

We handle the complete processing of decommissioned IT hardware: from intake and certified data destruction to remarketing and reporting. Additionally, we supply refurbished hardware to organizations.

How does the intake process work?

You request a valuation, we create a proposal, arrange transport, certified data wiping or destruction, and provide an audit report with the residual value.

Which organizations does Econyx work with?

We work for organizations in every sector, particularly government, education, healthcare, retail, and larger businesses.

What does it cost?

The costs depend on the size and type of equipment. Often, the residual value yields more than the processing costs. Request a no-obligation valuation.

Charities

Can I donate the residual value to a charity?

Yes. You choose whether to donate (part of) the residual value, and Econyx will increase your contribution by 10%.

Which charities can I support?

You can choose from our initiatives such as Trees for All and Stichting Blijf Groep, or a cause that aligns with your organization, such as KiKa or Cliniclowns.

Will I receive proof of my donation?

Yes, you will receive a certificate, ideal for transparency and ESG reporting.

Circularity-program

What is the Circularity Program?

The program helps companies sustainably process decommissioned IT hardware through reuse and recycling. This reduces e-waste, lowers CO2 emissions, and contributes to a circular economy.

How are CO2e savings calculated?

CO2e savings are calculated using a method developed in collaboration with Inrego and the Swedish government. By choosing refurbished IT instead of new, companies can save a significant amount of CO2. For example, a refurbished laptop saves up to 280 kg of CO2 compared to a new one.

What is the CO2 offsetting project?

Through our partnership with Trees for All, companies can donate the residual value of IT hardware to plant trees and offset CO2 emissions. For every €10 donation, two trees are planted—one locally and one in a climate change-affected area. And for every 10 trees you plant, we'll plant an additional one!

What are the benefits of being part of this project?

- Lower CO2 emissions through IT equipment reuse and recycling
- Transparent sustainability reporting with certified CO2 savings
- Financial benefits from recovering residual value from IT hardware
- Support for environmental projects such as reforestation and CO2 offsetting

Is my data safe during this process?

Yes. All devices undergo certified data erasure or physical destruction, in compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and other security standards. You will receive a data destruction certificate for compliance and peace of mind.
