Security is non-negotiable

Our operations follow the highest international security standards.

PCI P2PE certification ensures that every payment terminal we process is managed under strict security controls, from data wipe to storage, guaranteeing full compliance and maximum protection for our clients.

We help organisations to consume less and consume better, by extending the lifespan of their professional devices

From collection to re-deployment, the promise of our re-use workshop is to bring together under one roof the entire recovery chain for used professional IT equipment in order to offer them the best possible second life with the highest standards of security and traceability:

  • Maximum security & international compliance
  • Infrastructure built for scale: capacity, speed, proximity
  • A true circular model, from audit to repair to recycling
  • Measurable environmental impact (80% emissions saved)

Receiving and booking in 

The journey of every second-hand professional device begins here, with a controlled, secure, and booking in traceable intake process.

Receiving and booking in are the first essential steps in our refurbishment workflow. They ensure accurate identification, complete traceability, and the correct routing of each device before it enters the audit phase.

This stage includes:

  • Unit counting to verify quantities received and match client documentation
  • Registration in our system
  • Label removal and visual identification to protect confidentiality and prepare units for audit
  • Secure storage in our controlled warehouse until devices are ready for processing

Audit

Once devices have been securely received and registered, they enter the Audit phase, the cornerstone of our refurbishment process.

This step ensures full visibility of the device’s condition, data security, and compliance before any technical work begins.

This step includes:

  • Certified data erasure, where required, performed with approved tools and full traceability
  • Strict PCI & P2PE compliance checks to guarantee security for all payment-related devices
  • Comprehensive technical and functional testing
  • Quality assessment to determine the most suitable next step: repair, refurbishment, or parts recovery

Repair & Refurbishment

After audit, each device enters a phase where expertise and precision take over.

Our technicians work to restore full functionality, performance, and visual quality, ensuring every product is ready for a second life.

This step includes:

  • Precision soldering for delicate electronic repairs
  • Component replacement
  • Deep cleaning & consumables renewal to ensure optimal usage conditions
  • Cosmetic restoration to enhance appearance and usability
  • Final quality checks validating performance, durability, and compliance

Parts recovery & recycling

When a device cannot be restored, we ensure its components continue to serve a purpose.

Our dismantling process maximises the reuse of functional parts while minimising waste, following strict environmental standards.

This step includes:

  • Dismantling of non-repairable units
  • Recovery and testing of reusable components
  • Reintegration of recovered parts into future repairs
  • Responsible recycling of remaining materials through certified partners

Staging, packaging & deployment

Once restored, devices move to the final preparation phase, where they are configured, tested again, and packaged to meet each organisation’s operational needs.

This step includes:

  • Staging and configuration according to client specifications
  • Software installation and functional validation
  • Professional  packaging for deployment across Europe

From our logistics hub, devices are shipped to client sites with full traceability.
Our teams ensure safe handling, efficient routing, and on-time delivery, ready to perform, ready to last.

Engage in European re-use

At our Circular Economy Hubs in Europe, we promote a local and responsible reuse approach. By bringing together the entire professional equipment recovery chain under one roof, we enable:
  • Close relationship with our customers, suppliers, partners
  • The reduction of environmental impact of transport
  • Mastery of the end-to-end circular processes
  • Support local growth and long-term attractiveness
