The circular economy is an important tool for achieving the objectives of the Climate Act, such as reducing CO2 emissions. The ultimate goal of a circular economy is to ensure that no waste is produced. By producing differently, recycling materials, and giving them a second life, we reduce the need for virgin raw materials and generate less waste in the world. This also decreases CO2 emissions. One of Reuzado’s services is environmentally friendly and certified IT recycling for companies, with 100% data security, of course. This way, we contribute to a sustainable and healthy living environment! More information about circular ICT, our IT recycling & refurbishment services can be found below.
What is a circular economy?
To understand what we do, it’s important to know what a circular economy actually entails. A circular economy is one where finite raw material supplies—such as oil, gas, ore, and coal—are not depleted. It is a system focused on the optimal use and reuse of raw materials, parts, and end products. The circular economy aims to eliminate waste and pollution. This means less throwing away and more repairing, reusing, and recycling.
The opposite of a circular economy is a linear economy, where raw materials are completely depleted and items eventually end up in the environment as unusable waste. A linear economy focuses on the short term: a short lifespan and discarding and replacing products that are no longer ‘usable.’ This system generates large amounts of waste and environmental pollutants. Fortunately, there is increasing attention for the circular economy. Reuzado gladly contributes by making IT recycling and refurbishing of ‘old’ products as attractive as possible.
Why a circular economy?
Many raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce. It is therefore important to use available materials as efficiently as possible. This means that existing raw materials in, for example, computers and other hardware are not destroyed but reused. Additionally, a circular economy promotes innovation and employment.
Making technology sustainable
The technology sector has long lagged behind in sustainability. Due to technical updates and obsolescence, products often needed to be replaced regularly. Electronic products typically last about two to three years less than originally intended. Many products quickly break after purchase and are not repaired or recycled. Unnecessary! We ensure that old hardware gets a second life through IT recycling or refurbishing.
Reuse & IT recycling with Reuzado
IT recycling positively contributes to a circular economy. Recycling old hardware reduces the demand for natural, raw materials and minimizes waste. This results in a smaller CO2 footprint. Want to dispose of computers? Or do you have other old hardware that no longer serves a purpose in your company? We are happy to collect it and recycle it in an environmentally friendly and certified manner. Our professionals even handle the logistics at a time that suits you best—even evenings and weekends. We guarantee secure data removal using the number one solution in the field: Blancco software.
CSR
IT recycling is good for the environment and fits within a sustainable, eco-friendly, and circular business policy. Reuzado collaborates with various companies to ensure maximum recovery of raw materials. Where technically possible, we refurbish old hardware to support the circular economy. This way, we can reuse as much as 95% of products.

Refurbished equipment by Reuzado
Within the circular economy, companies are encouraged to use refurbished products, which can be computers or phones. Refurbished devices are previously used devices. After our specialists have 100% securely erased all data, the devices are inspected, tested, cleaned, and if necessary repaired. This ensures that every device functions like new and can be deployed in the business world! Including a warranty of up to 3 years. Sometimes there is a misconception that refurbished products don’t meet the quality of new ones, but this is not true. The user receives a good product that meets all quality standards, at a lower price. Refurbished products are better for your organization—and better for the planet.
Benefits of refurbished equipment
- Up to 60% cheaper than new
- Up to 3 years warranty
- Better for the environment
