Recycle/Reuse IT Equipment
End-of-Life Recycling
Digital Links is one of the only organisations of its kind working to build self-sustaining recycling initiatives in Africa when computers eventually reach the end of their useful lives.
As in the UK, after an average of 3-5 years equipment must be replaced. Given that there is little safe processing available in Africa, Digital Links is working to build on the knowledge of local stakeholders to develop self-sustaining small scale recycling initiatives on the continent.
In the meantime, Digital Links has developed a pilot program in cooperation with distribution partners to ensure that non-reusable PC components are shipped back to Europe for safe disposal.
Distribution partners, in accordance with Digital Links’ environmental policy, will arrange collection of end of life units for processing through our recycling initiatives.
For more information on Digital Links’ end-of-life recycling program please see our section on Green IT.
