We’ve updated our mission!
ICEX GROUP has updated its mission! One reason is to mention the term ‘circular’ within it, as we are strong believers in the principles of the circular economy.
Our new mission is:
The ICEX GROUP mission is to make technology circular, by securely reviving, relocating and recycling IT assets to bridge the digital divide and reduce e-waste.
There are many circular economy principles, but the primary three are:
Reduction - reduce and prevent waste being made in the first place - strongly influenced by manufacturer and consumer choices.
Reuse/relocate - this is where ICEX GROUP are most involved, with regards to e-waste. We always endeavour to revive equipment where possible to be reused, or relocate it to be used again, always in a data-secure way. Repurpose can also get a special mention where something can be reused in its original form but for a different purpose.
Recycle - ideally the last resort for the circular economy, where nothing gets landfilled and all usable materials are put back into the economy. This avoids the need to extract new resources and further damage the planet.
ICEX GROUP are here to help your organisation responsibly handle any redundant IT assets you have. Some of the main benefits are:
Data security - this can be achieved by high-level data cleansing software such as Blancco, or, although it is worse for the planet, hard drives can be shredded/granulated.
Improved ESG - reduced carbon footprint and proper sustainable handling of your equipment.
Budget responsibility - the best chance for you to get value out of the equipment for rebates is when you do it as soon as the equipment becomes redundant.
Personal satisfaction - helping the planet with sustainability efforts is important because e-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream. So, if sustainability is part of your personal values, then the correct handling of e-waste to avoid landfills will most likely also be important to you!
Once again, the new ICEX GROUP mission is to make technology circular, by securely reviving, relocating and recycling IT assets to bridge the digital divide and reduce e-waste.
