Circular Economy Pilot · zero cost
For institutions

Turn decommissioned IT into measurable impact.

We take your retired laptops, desktops and monitors, wipe them, and sell the reusable ones on the Swiss secondhand markets — with transparent reporting, and zero cost or effort on your side.

Four steps. No disruption to your existing process.

Share a pilot batch

Laptops, desktops, monitors, whatever's being retired. We handle pickup.

We wipe and assess

Full data sanitisation with per-device certificates. Then we sort: reusable vs. recycler.

Reusable units get a second life

Sold on secondhand markets. Everything else goes to your existing recycler, unchanged.

You get a report

With numbers that matter. More on that below.

Want to change how your organisation retires equipment?

That is consulting, and it is RE.SOURCE, our sister project: one end-of-life process every department can follow. It is already working with ETH Sustainability on ETH’s retired IT.

Go to RE.SOURCE

What your institution gets out of it.

Zero cost, zero effort

No fees, no procurement, no new contracts. Your recycling workflow stays the same. We just add a reuse layer on top.

Numbers for your reporting

Concrete CO₂e savings, diversion rates, and device trails. Useful for annual reports, accreditation, and grant applications.

Signal sustainability leadership

A visible circular-economy initiative that engages students, strengthens public positioning, and aligns with climate commitments.
