Even when a device has been sitting unused in the cupboard for years, traces of data may still be present on the hard disk or SSD.

This is done through a thorough overwriting process, replacing all stored data multiple times, making recovery impossible. For this service, we use Blancco - an internationally recognised standard in data erasure. Blancco meets strict requirements and is recommended by NATO, the AIVD, ANSSI and T\u00dcV, among others.\nThis method is not only safe, but also sustainable: the laptop itself remains usable and in many cases can be given a second life. Afterwards, you will receive a detailed report with the serial numbers of the erased devices and an official certificate of destruction as conclusive proof.<br \/>\nThis method is not only secure, but also sustainable: the laptop itself remains usable and can in many cases get a second life.

Then we opt for physical destruction of the storage medium. In this case, the internal hard disk or SSD is rendered completely unusable using an industrial shredder, which shreds the storage medium into small, unreadable fragments.<br \/>\nThis method is carried out in our high-security processing facility, but if required, we can also carry out the physical destruction on-site at the customer's premises - for organisations with high privacy requirements or specific compliance obligations, for example. Of course, you will also receive a certificate of destruction in this case as well, so you have full control and proof of data security.<\/p>\n<p>With both methods, we guarantee that your confidential data never ends up in the wrong hands.<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n    \n\n    <div  class=\"section section-images-slider has-no-padding-bottom-d has-no-padding-bottom-m has-no-bg has-no-pattern\">\n        \n                    <div class=\"slider-container\">\n                <div class=\"slider-track\">\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9564-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Phone recycling\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9648-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9597-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"buy computers\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9503-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/reuzado.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Reuzado-9701-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"buying up cisco\">\n                        <\/div>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n        <div  class=\"section section-content two-columns has-bg-lightblue has-no-pattern\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n                <div class=\"content-holder\">\n                                            <div class=\"column\">\n                            <div class=\"content\">\n                                <h4>Handling end-of-life laptops responsibly<\/h4>\n<p>Not every laptop needs to be destroyed immediately.
