Our Green IT Recycling Policies
We are committed to re-using the components of data storage devices as part of our data recovery processes and recycling these and all other electronic components once they are no longer functional or of further use.- Hard disk drives, compact flash drives, mobile devices, and all other destroyed electronic equipment will be disposed of by recycling.
- Data tapes will be dumped in landfills. South African recycling companies do not accept digital tape media for recycling primarily due to the following:
- Their composition is typically approx. 20% plastic, 1% metal and 79% magnetic tape;
- Vast material differences between the different types of data tapes;
- And the challenges of separating recyclable materials once they have been destroyed.
