Our Stats from 2024
ICEX GROUP’s mission is to securely revive or relocate, and if necessary, recycle all our clients’ technology assets, to help achieve digital equality, and reduce e-waste to landfill.
We say ‘if necessary, recycle’ because to us that is our last resort - we never directly send anything to landfill and always endeavour to use companies that operate with best practices.
We are aware of the issues with exporting waste and that some recyclers will export (often illegally, according to the Basel Convention) and we fully support better legislation from governments to reduce this. This would not simply be to threaten punishment, but rather should include empowering recyclers to get the most value out of what they process - which ideally means avoiding recycling and achieving repurposing or reviving/refurbing/repairing for reuse in the first place! This may require government investment in education, training and equipment to empower people and organisations to be able to revive for reuse where possible and recycle as a last resort. (For clarification, repurposing strictly means putting something to another use such as turning a base unit into a coffee table as a silly example.)
Our stats for 2024 are:
✅ 54,348 IT assets processed by ICEX GROUP in the 2024 calendar year
✅ 54.88% revived for reuse by people again
✅ 45.12% recycled
✅ 0% to landfill
We are really happy that we have once again achieved over 50% revival (or reuse) rate, and we’re pleased to see a slight improvement in our reuse rate over 2023!
This is across all devices. One of the main things we collect are laptops, and we are really happy to see that our rate of revival is high on laptops - achieving a 70% reuse rate (well, to be exact, 69.64%!) - which we are really pleased with!
Laptops are something we especially want for our charity of the year, and partner, Community TechAid. They are on a mission to stop the digital divide in the UK and give access to technology to those who need it most. Reach out to us, or them, if you have any laptops not being used (or any other devices). The rebate value (if applicable) can be donated to Community TechAid as well if you wish, or a charity of your choice (or returned for your budget as you prefer).
So, a huge thank you to all our clients and colleagues for achieving more and more to help reduce e-waste to landfill!
