What happens when your device gets traded in?

‍

Testimonial‍

‍

We have furthered underpinned our commitment to extending the life cycle of pre-loved products in our Circular Economy Programme by partnering with Trade Copiers UK for over 20 years. This relationship has a specific focus on adhering to ISO27001 security standards, with all devices going through a Data wiping process.

“Trade Copiers Ltd are delighted to have partnered with Bryan S Ryan for over two decades. As part of our partnership agreement, we collect all devices that are not end of life or for full refurbishment and bring them to our facilities to be processed and exported globally, giving the devices a second lease of life, contributing to the circular economy.

Processing at our facility includes a robust data security disposal process where the hard drives are wiped to ISO27001 protocols. This is certified for Bryan S Ryan and their clients.We operate to the most stringent environmental policies with ISO14001:2015 as our standard. We are very proud to say that we were one of the first companies in our sector to have gained this certification.”

And finally, what about devices that are no longer fit for purpose?

‍

We collect and recycle all devices through our Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment programme (WEEE). We currently have partnership programmes with Kavanaghs and Envirogreen.

Once again it is important that we have a credible sustainability story, one that we can both articulate and provide the evidence to support.
